Make sure that you get the motor hoise hook/chain as tight as possible to give you the most clearance.


I pulled a V8 out of my 4x4 without taking out the Radiator or Pulling the hood. Just have to know how to angle the motor around. These trucks have an airport under the hood. You can basically spin the motor around 360 in there.


Good Luck
