After paint, trim and a bunch of other exterior work, it was finally time to address the motor. Motor is basically original except for a few bolt ons

Luckily I did because I'm already forgetting what was what, i also marked some of the wire and hose connections,Easy part is done, hopefully you bagged and tagged everything!! Inexpensive snack & sandwich size bags along with a Sharpy are a big necessity with this kind of tear down so hopefully you already did that.
Good luck!
After I cooled off I went back at it again, finally got the lower manifold out, broke a clip on an injector plug but I guess I'll deal with that later, Buddy of mine was suppose to loan me his puller but he grabbed the balancer installer by mistake. DOH !! Went over to Advanced Auto and got a puller it came off without a fight along with the timing cover.
I used to have a couple but somehow somewhere I lost them, I was really disappointed when I couldn't find them hahaThese help a lot with those pesky hoses
Good memories? Or mostly cursing and swearing? HahaThis brings back memories of the last time I had a 5.0 broken down this far

Interestingly enough, I'm gathering parts for my own H/C/I install and somewhat looking forward to it.
What are you leaning towards on the HCI combo?
