Engine removal question

[JustinRhodes]

When removing the engine out of a 4wd 5 spd, To get it out, do you have to remove the oil pan and pick up tube?
I'd like to know so I can put the oil pan and stuff on the bottom of my other engine I'm putting in. I had to remove the oil pan to get it out of the 94 2wd auto.

Thanks

I've never had to pull a oilpan to get a motor out of any vehicle I've pulled a motor out of. You shouldn't of had to pull it on the one you did.

Thats what the service manual said, and that looked to be the only way to get it out.
It seemed to either be remove oil pan, or remove rocker pedastals.

I jave had to take a pan off to get an engine out but only because the engine was locked up and i had to remove the rod caps to getthe engine to turn to get to the torque converter bolts lol


You have to take the engine out in order to get the pan off a first gen truck well at least a 2wd one i know you do!


On all manual trans first gens you have to remove the trans to get the engine out and if tou dont remove the clutch it is a very tight squeeze i would recomend removing the trans t case clutch flywheel and flywheel housing to give u a little wiggle room domt be a dumb ass like me and get the engine hangin from the picker and the realise you have to take the trans out after the fact it is a lot easyer to remove the trans first lmao good luck but just remember trans has to come out first on a man truck!

That's really what I didn't want to hear. Can anyone confirm this?
