I decided to pull the motor on my 71 to replace the pan gasket (pan is loose, but can’t get it out). I will need to jack up the block to get the pan off which requires the mounts to be undone anyway….the motor mounts need changing too.
So I would like a list of do’s and don’ts and any tricks to help me out. I never pulled a American engine before so not too sure what to do.
Thanks,
s/t
