i was looking at pulling mine and i dont see any reason why you cant if you got a cherry picker. just drop tcase first

 

already have one in the WK :P

I was looking into pulling the engine and I know the motor is a long *** long block, but the transmission is so tiny. I'll leave the rad and font clip in... if it gets in the way, its like 10 mins to get it all out.

 

I recently helped pull a motor from my buddies 94 XJ and we found it a lot easier to just pull the front clip and radiator. It was a little tight just pulling the motor. Good luck though

 

the belt fan is a ***** to get off and the fuel line to the injector rail is a ***** too...


ruined my condenser and ripped the back of the AC pump off... well I guess that why they call me hulk


Cherry picker on Thursday and picking up an engine/trans on Friday. Driving a crossed the state to get it

 

Yes you can do it without taking out the front clip but you do have to take out the radiator but i suggest that you take out the radiator and front clip it will make your life a lot easier and it' just a few extra bolts i promise i tried doing my swap with out taking out the front clip and i messed up the very top part of my grille because my lift wouldn't go any higher.

 

just don't forget to disconnect your fuel lines like i did and have to by new one their $35 a piece sucked

 

This is what i did to my grille with my oil man because i didn't take it off.

 

Looks like you got a new temp sensor!

Front clip is out completely


all I need to do/remove is
Belt Fan
Fuel Lines
Headers
Intake manifold
some random wire that I really don't care what they do as long as they work
transmission linkage
drop the transfer case if I can't just disconnect it
Mounts on tranny and engine


now it seems like there is a lot to an engine pull






update

And I pulled the broken rod threw that hole... well its the top side that connects to the piston... it came completely off

Rebuilding it for resale/back up if there isn't any scaring of the sleeve

 

yeah i got a new temp sensor the trying to fix my cooling fan problem

Is this your first engine swap?

 

kinda

I did the neighbors K3500 vortec last week, but this is my first pull thats not a chevy truck or a mustang 4.6

 

this one's a little different but it's all the same basic stuff just remember where you took off and put it back lol

 

Learned the hard way. im just taking pictures when I can.

It helps a lot when you have 3-4 friends who stop by a lot and have the same jeep

ill probably upload all the photos at once from the pull

 

cool i want to see that
