Hey guys ive got a 97 f150 4x4. i swapped the engine twice due to getting bad ones from salvage yards. I have been managing to get it out buy barely fitting it between to firewall and the front of the engine bay. It is a very aggravating proccess does anyone have any tips to make this easier?

What all are you removing form the engine?

Only other thing you can do is remove the cab. But yeah, it's a squeeze! I stick an appropriate sized piece of ply - wood between the condensor & the motor to protect it.

Drink a couple beers while doing it that way if u mess something up u won't get to mad the only easy way to do it is take the cab off u only have inches off room as long as u take intake off that's really all u can do
