Yeah I have the knowledge and ability to do it. I know which parts need coming off and so forth its just the fact that ive never done it before ill be a little bit slow. Body lift should help with bellhousing bolts etc to release it from transmission. Its best to remove the intake manifold first right?
yep. Remove the intake and everything in front of the engine. Litterally the engine will be almost completely vertical to get it out..

Yes, remove the intake first. Doing so will make it easier.

Lol yeah I've got a kid and a wife that come before turbos. I'd love a Tt 5.4 but I've got to be responsible. Maybe in a few years. But I'm doing a 6.0 psd in my white ford and will have my scab as a dd

Probs deleting it. Havent looked at it too much to be honest but thats not something real hard to accomplish. Especially since ill probably try 4.6 headers I dont want issues with it not bolting up the same as if I got 5.4 headers.

Make your own man. Get your header plates from Jegs 35 for each side, and 90 bucks for the pipe and 2 collectors. I am actually outside working on my EGR delete right now.
