1990 E350 460 Head Removal

Hello,

I have a 1990 E350 with a 460 7.5L. I think I've lost a head gasket - I'm blowing allot of white smoke out of the exhaust as all speeds and the engine will barely idle. My kids think it's a fog machine

Has anyone attempted to pull both cylinder heads while still in the van (actually it's a Class C motor home built on a Ford E350 chassis)?

I looks really tight and even if I can get the head out I'm sure if I'll be able to torque the new heads properly.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Paul

I'm having same issue with a 1982 Ford E-350 and a blown head gasket on rider side. Can I pull the head without dropping the motor and can I pull the head with exhaust manifold still attached?
