its tight, but it can be done. I did mine with a ratcheting wrench.

 

Thanx for the offer. I just ordered a 3" lift........ and in doing so I lifted up the completed body 4" and I think I have room now to get the lil buggers out. I found a newer motor with only 20,000 miles for $1600. I'll keep you in the loop tomorrow. TTFN

Cheers

 

Mission accomplished........ New 5.4L mill installed in the S'crew. The install wasnt that bad, although I did have to jack up the cab about 4" to ease the install. Naturally, having the cab jacked up necessatated that I install a 3" body lift. The lift will make maintenance way easier in the future. I am still anticipating the supercharger add on??? Thanx for all the input guys, hope I can return the favor. Cheers
