frankngin Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 I suppose you are right. But now you know how the open front no fenders fad got started. Just someone in a hurry to see if thier engine work was good or not.Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1936 D2 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 (edited) Mine was done with the front sheet metal removed. But you may be able to squeeze it out by removing the hood to start then the transmission, clutch, bell housing and flywheel from below. (You will have to find a way to support the engine when the bell housing is removed as it carries the rear engine mounts as I recall.) Then remove the hoses, water pump, pulley, generator with bracket and fan before removing the grille shell support rods and radiator, all out the top.That MAY give you enough room to lift the engine straight out the top.I don't think you have to remove the grille shell itself, but you may find it easier if you also get the side fender splash aprons and front wheels off just for ease of side access. Like Ron said, NEVER easy. Edited November 25, 2011 by 1936 D2 added info (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lozrocks Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I think the easiest, fastest and safest method is to remove the bonnet, grill and front guards. That way you have no risk of damaging anything, and engine and gearbox come out as one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
