Pulling my motor & Tranny

[Killer50stang]

I'm pulling my motor for the first time and then the tranny. Any tips I can get? This is actually a 2.3 and not my 5.0. I'm gonna pick up a cherry picker sometime next week. Will I need a tranny lift of somekind to drop out the tranny. I won't be putting one back in, as I'm parting this car out. I also don't have a lift. Thanks.

Yes, the body will be for sale. It was a 4 cyl body. Pretty much stripped if you want it.

What's your point? The block is stock in my stang. Never pulled it or the tranny to reach the 390 I have. Why the smart remark? Anyway, what needs to be disconnected at the tranny side for the pull? Isnt' there just a few bolts on the block?

pulling a 2.3 and tranny is as easy as picking your nose. Just pull all the wires unhook the exhaust, dont even worry about the drive shaft, just tie it up and pull the motor out. It was 5,908,604,839,712X's easier than taking out a 2.5L motor from a probe gt.
