I came across a 93 SC in a boneyard. I would like to pull the engine this weekend as easily as possible. I searched here about pulling engines, but only found 4 threads directly on the subject. I am not at all familiar with Tbirds or the SC models, but I spent a half hour crawling over and under the car today trying to figure the best way to get it out. I am a pretty decent wrench, I have pulled a LT1 from an impala in a yard in about 2 hours, and numerous engines from 4x4's. This is much tighter than those pulls.
Would there be any benefit from dropping the whole subframe and bringing the engine out from below?
would it be easier to pull the engine with the trans(auto) attached?
I read here that I need to remove a wiper motor cover for top clearance, and possibly the PS pump to access the engine mounts, What else?
Remember the car in in a boneyard and Im not trying to do this without damaging the car itself which will be crushed within a week or 2
Aide from the engine and related plumbing what other parts are SC specific and considered valuable?
