Well this project has not been very quick but then again I don't even know what I am going to do with the engine so I am not in any hurry. Only reason I am even pulling it is because it is an old Jimmy that I am cannibalizing for my s dime and I have always wanted to at least be able to say that I pulled an engine myself with little or no help. Well all that is left to do as far as I can tell is to drain the oil and tranny fluid, drop the tranny support, remove the motor mount bolts and disconnect the shift linkage. So the only help I will need is plucking it out with a cherry picker. Since I don't need the heat or the light I will go out tonight and work on some of that. Probably the last thing I will do is remove the tranny support because I don't know when I will get the cherry picker and a friend out here to finish up and I would just asoon it not hang there too long unless any of you guys that know how this stuff works thinks it would not matter. Just one last question. Since it is not going any where until after I pull the motor, would it be safe to get under there and un bolt the tranny support so that I won't have to bother with that on the day we pull the engine? It looks like the support is sitting on top of the frame or at least some type of steel rail any way.
PS So, why do I use the words engine and notor interchangably? Well no reason at all I suppose thecnically an engine uses fuel and a motor is electric. Not really sure. Robert
