i was out in the driveway get everything unhooked and getting the motor in my 95 ready to be pulled out and thought it would be interesting to know how long it takes you to pull your motors. from driving it up to having it out. it took me 3 1/2 hrs to pull my motor out of my 87,with a half hour lunch in between. everybody tells me "let me know if you need help" but when i call their all busy. anyways
 
I'll let you know in a couple weeks. :) Took me about 10 hours last time, but that was the first time I ever pulled a motor. I'm thinking 3 hours or less shouldn't be a problem this time.

I did change my transmission in 2 1/2 hours from the time I pushed it in the garage to the time I took it for a test drive.
 
2-3 hours sounds about right working by myself. I just tear it down to the lower intake, unhook everything, and yank it out using one of those plates. Figure another 15-30 minutes or so to take the intake and heads off.

Thats when im motivated. When im bull****ting around it can take all weekend :lol:
 
I pulled mine with t5 still attached in like 2 or so.


One time the night before a final my daily blew up and I needed a car....I had the heads and intake off the mustang....had it back together in 3hrs and 10:30pm....got a B on the final.
 
Well it took about 1 hour to strip it down the block. Then it took 20 minutes to pull the block with the tranny attached. Probably didn't need to strip the motor but I sold peices off little by little.

We drank beer during all this. Vision impared by the alcohol and we still knocked it out quickly. It took longer to put the hoist together.


Green 94 5.0 (Roger) in most of the pics.

3 hours and 20 minutes, but we had at least 20 minutes just messing around so Im going to say it took 3 hours.:) The LT's cost me at least 30 minutes too. We pulled the engine and transmission seperately and it took about 50 minutes for the transmission and another 20 or 30 for the bellhousing.
 
took me 5.5 hours to change head gaskets with the 331 s-trim setup... i know that seems like a long damn time but cleaning everything up, assybling, adjusting, etc, takes awhile. (probably spent an hour just on the damn header bolts).

Me and a friend just ripped out a fuel port injection 350 out of his formula in under 3. (undoing the converter held us up)
