Stimmel1647545512 Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 I am wondering How much more work it is to take the engine out of a 5.0 mustang, I already have the upper intake off and the car is a 5 speed car, I would like to take the motor out, put a new oil pan and gasket on the car, is this easily done or is a pain in the ass, I have an engine stand and hoist.... Just wondering if i should thorw the new intake on or pull the motor and clean it up while the intake is off that being said, does anyone have the mount thing that bolts to a mustang 5.0 intake to pull the engine out?

88lx5oh Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 easy.. unbolt alternator, bellhousing, motor mounts, headers from h pipe unplug all wiring to motor, alternator wires, gournd strap to motor, etc etc. yank out. you can use the lower intake manni bolts to pull atleast i did on the car i just pulled the motor out of. take a few of the bellhousing bolts with you to mount to the engine stand. do the rear main if it has a leak while your there.

DKilbourne Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Definitely not too hard. Of course I think I have been around for about 10 or more of these, so I guess that helps too. Not a bad idea to have someone around who has done it before, just in case something comes up that you didn't think of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideOpenThrottle Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 It's a easy job! If you have a basic understanding of motors then you can pull it, put your new parts on/in, and have it running later that night. I always found it easier to pull the tranny also just because it can be a bitch to line up the bell and motor if your doing it solo. Best of luck to ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Removed Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 i like the one piece oil pan gaskets..they seal way better then the 4 pice deal that come's in this kit! youll need the head gaskets if you are swapping out for better now or later. plus the rear main seal's in there and so on. might as well re gasket the whole thing while you have it out so that way you know its all sealed up!
