Is there a How to remove V8 thread?

[crispins]

Hello,

I am going to pull the V8 out of my donor V8 Explorer in a couple of days.

Is there a decent write-up on the best method for performing it?

Once I get the motor out I am sending it to a rebuilder.

When I get it back I will be dropping it into my Sport Trac.

Thanks for the help!

Cool, thanks.

Where do I get that A/C line removal tool?

What is the best way to get the exhaust off?

I do not have a saw zaw, can I use a grinder with a cut off disk or will it unbolt?

Most auto parts stores carry them, some fuel lines have the same style fittings, they are pretty cheap to. You can cut the exhaust off if you don't plan to reuse it, but if you plan on reusing it, I'd get some pb blaster or something to soak the bolts/nuts and remove it, may need a breaker bar, but it should come apart.
