Hey engine removers -
I just removed the engine in Rusty. It have been years sense I removed a
Roadster motor, but I remembered! One thing to add. I remove the bolts to
the radiator cross braces at the body- upper and lower. And the bolt on the
upper brace that holds the overflow tank. I leave the shoud on the radiator
and the radiator on the cross braces, and then remove the hoses on the
engine only. You can then remove the whole radiator assembly by removing
just 5 bolts. Pull I forward to clear the fan (leave it on also) and wiggle
it past the front wiring harness and bingo!
Just a though and good luck - don't forget the Band-Aids :-)

1.drain oil, tranny,
2.remove upper cross brace that radiator bolts to, it makes it gives
alittle more clearance,
3.don't bolt on rear tranny mount when reintalling, we had to take
it
off again
4. when reinstalling be careful not to bend copper tube on heater
bypass valve by hitting it on firewall
(do not use homemade boom attachment on 3 point hitch of old
farm
tractor, get an engine hoist, I'll post a picture of that rig
someday....)
