Its really not that bad...dont psych yourself out, just take your time and make sure nothin gets stuck. I just pulled the motor outta my 90 Coupe, but I had already taken all the accessories, heads, intake etc off a couple months ago in search of why it popped. Def. take the hood off, makes things easier and make sure when you chain it up that its secure before you start lifting it. Good luck!!!

Well? What was it?
Oil pump shaft is twisted like a twizler. Snapped in two, wedged up against the crack and block. My buddy posted pictures on Lightning Rodder here is the link.
Oh boy, look what i did - Lightning Forum | LightningRodder.com
Pretty common failure, when he rebuilds it, get an ARP shaft.
Glad you got it out no prob! Mine ended up bein the #1 rod end fell off lol, the nuts are in the pan, the end was just layin there and i could move the #1 piston by hand. Looks like it mangled up the oil pickup tube but nothin else seems out of whack. I imagine the crank is shot too but havnt torn it down that far yet. Im with you tho, it wont be rebuilt, already got another motor on the stand waitin to go back in.
