All of these broken rod stories are starting to scare me. I am thinking of pulling my own engine and getting one of PSP's lower end packages. I would rather spend $1,900 now then a lot more later.

My local shop wanted $3,500 just to upgrade the rods only!

Would anyone know where I can find information on pulling a L engine? I remember seeing something awhile back, but could not find it. Would a Chilton's manual help?

Has anyone had any experience with PSP's lower end package and just how difficult are they to put in?

Any help and/or direction would be appreciated

 

easiest way is to take the body off.

 

I also need some info on pulling our engine going for it this Saturday 2-25-03 Getting ready for Super Stallions event.

Peace, Suavy

 

Kinda like this

 

You can remove the engine without removing the cab. I have seen 5 or 6 of them done local by just using a cherry picker, including mine.

 

You can take it out through the hood. Just gota remove most of the upper part of the motor and accessorys.

 

I'd figure another 1k for machine work and gaskets ect.

 

Althought that way is the easiest........not too many people have access to a lift like that in their garage. I would use the cherry picker method......probably more time taking but it can be done in your own garage.

For specific questions I would get ahold of a local dude Rob (RDY2RAC). I am pretty sure he removed his own motor in his garage..........hell I think he removed his own tranny too.

Don when are you gonna let me be your intern so you cna teach me all this. I wanna trhow a built engine in my L and learn to do my plugs and all myself

 

probably when you buy it and he comes over and helps (sits back with a beer and tells you what to do) you put it in.

 

Easiest Engine Removal Procedure

[list=1][*]Aquire a chain of sufficient strength 40ft.(it is very important that you don't go cheap on the chain)[*]Secure the chain to the engine to be removed in a manner that it won't come off no matter what[*]Aquire a HEAVY DUTY pad lock[*]Wrap the other end of the chain around a telephone pole and secure the loop with the pad lock.[*]Leave 25ft. of slack in the chain between the truck and the telephone pole.[*]Start the truck and engage the tran in reverse.[*]Power brake the engine to 1800 rpm (if you have slicks and/or nitrous use them)[*]release the foot brake and nail the gas pedal to the floor. WEAR YOUR SEATBELT[*]You should feel the jolt of the engine being removed.[*]Post pics of your engine removal on F150 Online!!!![/list=1]
