Hi all,

I am about to swap engines out of my 95SE MTX. (Lunched a rod bearing! ) I am not sure if I'm better off yanking the engine from above or dropping out the sub frame like the Haynes manual says. I will also be replacing the lower control arms, struts, upper strut mounts and sway bar links while I'm at it, so I'm thinking that dropping the sub frame may be the way to go. I will be using a 4000 lb truck duty engine hoist to do this so lifting capacity is definately NOT an issue! (Hell, I could lift the whole car with that thing!)

I will be doing this in my driveway/ in my garage at home if that makes a difference. Any thoughts out there as to which way to proceed? Any input would be appreciated!


Former, now returned CEG'er! 95SE MTX, (AKA "The Road Rat"). Stock except for:TH fix, B.A.T. big brake kit, tranny cocktail and lots of re-insulated wiring! May yet be a 3.0! "Speed doesn't kill, stupidity does!"
