Sorry a little hazey on that response. Unbolt the engine from the transmission at the bell housing. It is easier to undo the tranny mount to give you some more room to work with when re-aliging the input shaft. I usually just undo the eight bolts that hold it to the frame rails and leave it attached to the transmission than run a tie down strap across from both sides of the frame rails and the strap acts as a cradle, i aim for were the bell housing necks down.

I can have a carb motor on the ground in about 45 min at the most going at a normal pace, and an EFI motor in about an hour. Take in mind i have pulled more than a hundred motors out of just about every thing from Peugot to Mercedes and even a few Kenworths and Peterbuilts (those suckes are freaking heavy and huge), and i have pulled prolly 20 diffrent r-series toyota motors. Heck i have even done a toyota clutch off the far side of comp hill in the middle of the Florence dunes, thank god for ground cleance, plywood, and damp sand.

FYI...best way to get the bell housing bolts is ~3ft of extension and a wobbly with a deep 17mm socket and an air gun. If you dont have air than i use a box end wrench and get the two top bolts from above, use the closed end with the angle, and than there should be the starter,14mm one below one above the starter, and two more 17mm bolts about half way down the bell housing. The bolts on the bottom are 14mm and there is one sneaker that faces towards the front of the truck.

If some of that seems confusing or a little off its because my 7week old black lab puppy broke his hind femer on saturday and needs surgery, and i am leaving the 5th through the 10th and i have to leave i cant cancel. I hate kids, retorical but you know....
