Redneck Removal
Ever have one of those trucks that you are going to pull a motor and you know nothing is going back in. That's right.......get out your sawzall and your side cutters. Easiest motor I ever picked. Noticed I opened up the birth canal a bit????
The hoise wouldn't move in the gravel so I had to take a 2x8 board and kept prying up on the bumper to inch it back as I hoisted. It looks like the bottom of the motor and the trans had just been detailed so that will make working on it a snap!!! LOL |

Re: Redneck Removal
Worst I have ever personally done is use a wrecker to rip the entire front half off a motorhome to get the 454 out. It was actually with another board member on here a few years ago.
Yes, that's the entire dash sticking out the front of the motorhome. We wrapped a chain around the entire front end and yanked with the truck. Worst I've seen was a guy was giving away a 440 Mopar before he scrapped the car. My buddy used a front end loader and a chain to jerk the engine out. When I say jerk it out, I mean just that. He used the loader repeatedly to jerk the car off the ground until the engine finally ripped completely out of the bay. He unhooked nothing, no wires, exhaust, mounts, nothing. It was a noisy process. All he had to work with was the tractor and a chain. The guy was on the way to the scrap yard with it so it's the best he could do to get it out. Wish I'd have videotaped it though.

Re: Redneck Removal
I had a Ford courier beater with a 2.3 that I parted out. A guy came to drive it & hear it run- he wanted the engine & trans. He gave me $150 & said he'd come back to pick it up when I got it pulled- I said stick around for a 1/2 hour & it'll be in your truck. You can disconnect a lot of things in a hurry with a torch & side cuts! It was fun!

Re: Redneck Removal
Whats the story on the rest of the truck? Looks like some decent sheetmetal on the front clip? What size BBC is that?

TX Fighter.....bet that block was a 4 bolt main huh? Many to most motorhomes got those. I think something that would be super cool to do to SOMEONE ELSE'S car would be to chain the living daylights out of the front and get going in reverse as fast as you can until the chains get tight. Rip the motor right out of the front. lol |

Re: Redneck Removal
At my buddies yard we cut the front end off of the big block vehicles all he has left are dodges so the are mostly 440s and we use the backhoe to pull the motors once we cut the truck up

Re: Redneck Removal
I was pulling the motor out of a junked ranger once and all I did was take the motor mounts loose and the bellhousing bolts out then I hooked a crane truck (for pulling out well pumps, its what I used to do) to the engine and lifted till the front tires were about a foot off the ground. Then I stood on top of the engine and shook it till the tranny popped free, and took a sawzall to all the remaining lines/wires/exhaust. Took about 45 minutes to get it out.

Re: Redneck Removal
Long before cellphone cameras and cheap digital cameras I saw this:
70something Impala at the crusher's yard. The fork lift that lifts the stuff to the crusher used the two spears to peel back the hood. Chain around the now gone hood and around engine. Lift engine/car and shake up and down. Who needs an engine? Kinda like what Tx Firefighter described in the bottom of his first post.
