[DeTomaso] Engine removal

[adin at frontier.net]

Hi Jack, weather turned cool on cue with the end of summer, but this is my favorite time of year. Hope you-all are doing well snuggled up to the Sierras!

Being an old wimp, I did pull the ZF easily with a hoist. While waiting for Lloyd to do his thang I decided to freshen the Cleveland thus finding three bad lobes on the cam! Lucky me?

Cheers!

True enough, David. However, two or three husky guys CAN pull the ZF by itself using primitive rope or strap slings and a LOT of care. It weighs nearly 160 lbs with attached bellhousing, and lifting it 3 or 4 feet out of the compartment is not for wimps! How's your Colorado weather nowadays?
Cheers- J DeRyke

Somehow, during Pantera 101, I was asleep or playing footsy with that curly haired girl, when this same fact was discussed: it is almost impossible to remove the engine without the transaxle being attached! It can happen, but it ain't pretty. 

Remember: engine and transaxle together. 

Now, I need a nap.
