  1. Thank you for your input. I do have a two ton cherry picker and I will purchase the horizontal bar with the four chains. The only challenge I am going to have is where to attach the four chains to the engine. On the one side I can attach the chains to the exhaust manifold hole but on the other side will be a challenge on where to attach the chains. That is a good idea to remove the tranny separate from the engine.
  2. Thank you for your recommendation. I have already removed the hood, radiator, and headlights from the car. I am now wondering how difficult it would be to remove engine and gear box together, considering the combined weight of the engine which is approximately 700 pounds plus the weight of the gear box and clutch housing. I do have a cherry picker for removing the engine.
  3. I am preparing to remove the engine for the first time from this type of car and I'm wondering what would be the steps to remove it. Should I start removing the gear box first or is there any thoughts on what steps to take? I would also appreciate any recommendations on a shop that rebuilds Chrysler straight 8 engines. I am located in Southern California, but would take the engine out of state to a knowledgeable shop, Thank you in advance for your response.
  4. Hi sorry I was unable to answer you earlier I really appreciate all of your input. I will take your advice and will first start with the valve guide it looks like it might be sucking oil through the valve guide. Again, thank you so much for your input.
  5. Hello this is Ray I have a problem and was wondering if someone could give me some advice. I have a problem on the last cylinder there was oil on the spark plug. I removed the head and there was oil on the last valve. I would really appreciate if someone could give me some advice on what could possibly be the cause. I am sending photos of the removed head where it shows the oil stain inside of the head and also the oil on top of the last valve. Also I’m sending a photo of the tightening sequence for the head and torque requirement and wanting to know if that’s correct. Appreciate the help!
  6. I had the wheels redone, the hubs were chromed and added stainless steel spokes. They were done by Rally America in California who did a great job.
  7. Hello, I own a Chrysler Imperial CQ 5 Passenger Coupe. I know there was 267 produced. Does anyone know if there is any other survivor out there.
