I had the same problem changing the crankshaft position sensor that I had to take off the oil pan to hit it from inside of the engine. What a nightmare I swear. Good video!!

[@AGuyandHisProjects]

Thanks! I wouldn't have though about going through the oil pan. Good thought!

You will do well to remove the header and radiator cross member, flip the compressor over to passenger side, where removed PDC was, then flip the condenser over to the passenger side, with a padding to protect the condenser from the front fender tip, then install the entire engine, air box, all harness, all fuel line (disconnected at driver's floor position only), and NO engine mounts in position.. By flipping the AC parts out, you have a completely clear pathway to bring the engine in. You can also use 2 floor side frame jacks, front tires removed, to lower the entire front of vehicle, thereby allowing less lift requirement. Do use a picker leveler, on the two high studs, and the front screw at timing cover top. . Once engine is in position, then slip the mounts into place, bolting to engine, then finally pin the major fore-aft bolt.. . It is also a good plan to have the transmission already attached to engine, torque convert bolted up, and support collar in place, no starter yet. . The entire unit is much easier to install, rather than working the transmission/engine bolts from below, and having to attach the harness ground cheeks, and other harness routing.. . Having done this a number of times, once the engine-only way, I can tell you it is much better all assembled. If you have a transfer case, it can go on with the rest, rather than grubbing around sticking it on.

I wish I had your garage space!

[@AGuyandHisProjects]

I wish I had more! Haha

[@EHUDPOWER]

The only thing I would of done was the timing chain on it since you had it out already but looking good so far.

[@AGuyandHisProjects]
