Did you remove the engine only or engine and trans together as one unit. I am lazy and trying to work out the easiest way. Dave Don't forget to post some pictures of your rebuild.

I took the lot out Arthur I wanted to do front and rear seals
while I was at it.And apart from
that I wasn't sure how I could line everything up with the box still in ,it was hard enough with it on the floor of the shed.

Dave, what did you use to lift the engine chains bolted to the engine or did you use something else. A picture of it would be great when you put it back in.

Hi Arthur,
I have used an engine plate to remove and replace my engine, works a treat. Used with my engine and trans together - I was worried like hell but using that tool is very safe.
Give me a call if you would like a loan.

Hi Graeme, I now a lot people use them, but like you said it will scare the shit out of me, especially on the aluminum intake. I will be extra careful, because I do make mistakes. I think I might bolt the chains to the heads and stand back.
Have to catch up sometime to see what you have done to you car since the last time I seen you.

Re: Timming cover fe 390
I bought 4 longer bolts for the manifold and used them with chains up to the leveler that way i could get enough angle on the whole assembly as i brought it in and out.And i agree using a manifold plate on an aluminium manifold is scary at 400+ kgs.
If you need any help at all please feel free to give me a call,the procedure is fresh in my mind so i may be able to be of some use.
