Give me some pointers, tips tricks for remove the engine...
I'll be pulling the engine in the 94 soon, hope this week. Are there any tricky parts to look out for? I've pulled engines in older vehicles with no problems, but will be the first for a fuel injected car. what about the heater core lines? I have a fuel line tool. I'll remove the tranny before the engine, doing by my self and is easier alone, little more work but Oh well. I plan on taking some pics while remove items for reference and bagging the bolts and tagging the lines.
Just that all the ele and vacuum lines seem intimidating.
I've installed clutches, superchargers, timeing chains, water pumps, cams on older cars with carbs (60's era)

Going with a 327 stoker engine(have the short block together) with AFR 185 heads (upgrading springs), T moss ported lower cobra, E cam (emissions legal and have it. I know I'm probly leave some Hp on the table and funds are limited). Compression will be around 9.3 (or so) with the KB flat top with reliefs and 63cc heads. will use FRPP shorty headers, bassani X with cats. The Powerdyne will go back on (Yes I know about the limits of the powerdyne, but I have it and it adds a some kick in the pants). I got the Scat stroker kit semi used, installed but never run for a good price. Needing to get the old motor out to reuse some parts, rockers, timeing cover ect.

Thanks for any info you can give me to make the project go smoother.

The nice thing about most of the electrical connections is that they're pretty specific connectors and locations, so it's easy to get them back in the original locations. +1 on the ASAP thing though, since the longer you wait the less fresh the details are. Good luck!

I agree, electrical connectors are pretty specific, so those won't be too hard, but do what I did, and take a cubic crap-ton of digital pictures while taking things apart. It was my first time and I somehow lucked into getting it into running condition again.

Bag and Tag.... and also spray down as many bolts as you can, before the pull. So like now.
