The rear bank can be done very quickly if you loosen the front subframe bolts,remove the rear subframe bolts,and remove the rear motor mount.Doing this gives you plenty of room to remove the rear manifold.Remove the studs on the rear manifold so you don't have to remove the Alt.In order to maintain alignment, spray paint around each subframe mounting hole.I had access to the alignment pins from ford,but this will work too.

If you do it properly the rear is actually not that tough, its getting the socket on the bolts and the studs thats the hard part.

If you do it like DanG, it's really easy. He just pulls the engine.

Would you believe me (or him) if he says that that's a 4 hour job for him now?
