Pulling engine, can trannie come to?
Pulling the 302FI out of the 93 F150 this weekend. Are the engine lift brackets sufficient to lift both the engine and auto transmission (E4OD) together up and out? If so will all miss the front radiator support bar? Or only the engine can be pulled with the brackets and clear the radiator support bar....Thanks

You'll pretty much have to remove the entire front clip of the truck to get it out in one piece safely.
The E4OD is a big tranny, heavy. I'd think it's safest to remove the engine from the transmission before taking either out of the truck.

The lift brackets are not sufficient to support the engine and the tranny. They are designed to pull the engine only as far as I know.
Pulling the radiator really helps make more room.
I just did this so if you need any advice just ask bro!
You do not have to pull the front clip to do any of it.
There's plenty of room to pull it without removing the clip.

Yeah but there's SO much more room if you're willing to take the extra time (and need to anyway).
We pulled my engine (7.3 w/an E4OD) tranny, and the transfer case out in one unit, just ran chain around the whole manifold instead of using the lift brackets, and it all pulled out on my 1990. However, we did pull the whole front clip, but it made it nice to be able to get in there after the engine was gone and clean everything out of there.

I agree with Nick, pulling the clip makes the job a whole lot easier, plus the engine/transmission can be pulled together then separated outside the truck, which is also a lot easier than trying to pull on or the other underneath the truck.

remove radiator, and pull it, if you pull the upper intake off it will be easier but not needed. no need to pull front clip, and the engine brackets worked just fine for me
