Title: Removing Engine
Post by: mikeT on September 21, 2004, 08:59:51 AM

I am about to remove the engine from my buddies 65, as he needs a new clutch. I was wondering if removing the engine off a swing axle is different then removing one that was on a IRS. I have taken the engine out of my 74 several times before and was curious if it is the same procedures as a 65, four bolts a couple cable/wires and it is free????? as I don't have a manual for this car!  :wacko:
