225 Engine Removal

Could someone please tell me what is the best way to remove the engine. I have a hoist but don't know what type of chain to buy and how to hook it up to the engine to support the weight. Pictures would be great.

 

We take the hood, fenders and grill off 1st.
Just use a carb lift plate.
Some times you can find an engine in a junk yard that has lift plates on it already. Imports I think :? then use two longer bolts on oppisite ends of the intake.
Grade 8 chain.
I used to have a leveler for a hoist that was nice.

 

The body is completely off at this point. How do you connect the chain to the bolts. Are you saying just run the bolt threw the chain and into the intake

 

Yes sir. Thats it.

 

I need to find my carb plate now that I think about.
Who did I loan it too?
None of ya'll here I know that much.

 

Thanks for the carb lift plate option I looked it up online and now I understand what you are talking about.

 

Standard carb plate drilled out for small rochester pattern. HTH.n

 

Wow I can't wait till my engine and trans look like that.

 

Joel, nice pic. I've never heard of a carb lift-plate. Neat concept! I may be needing one of those here soon. Where to get?

But....doesn't the attached tranny tilt that baby backwards big-time upon lifting? How to correct 4 it? Thanks!

 

yea dont be scared to get phyisical with it just pry like hell on stuff it will come out.then if your like me the second time it will come real easy and you flip your throw out bearing around and put the motor back.
(come on you know you done something like that before)

 

I picked up a leveler yesterday so I'm all ready to pull the engine and tranny this weekend. Hopefully it doesn't all come crashing to the floor.

 

Use one of these, hippo.

OK, that link didn't work. Do a search at Harbor Freight for "load leveler". I've got one, it works great. You crank it back or forth to adjust the center of gravity and balance the load.
