Pulling a F150 351 Engine
All,
I'd like to rebuild my 351 engine in my F150. It's got lots of miles and I'd like to do it for fun, hobby, and just to get more miles off my F150.
Is this a complicated deal? Am I asking for trouble? I can take public transportation while the Engine is out of commision so I can take my time. Just is it complicated?
I have never seen anywhere instruction on pulling an Engine. Like how to chain up a Engine PUller, Undo the Engine Mounts, and release the Driveshaft etc. Basically, how do you free it up to get it out of the Truck so you can work on it piece by piece.

Hi and welcome to FTE.
Rebuilding an engine isn`t for beginners unless you do a pile of reading and research first. I see you`ve found some of good forums on FTE, that`ll give you some ideas on what`s involved.
Be sure to check out what`s happening in your local VA chapter soon: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum147/ and to fill in the location in your profile.
