RE: [Chrysler300] 300F engine pull question

["Bob Jasinski" <rpjasin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mark,
 
I have done it several times on a '61 G, which should be similar.  It is not
a simple task, but neither is separating the engine from the trans while in
the car.  You will need to drop the cross member  and support the trans with
a floor jack.  The angle of the assembly is important to get it just right
the clear the radiator support.  It is best to have help, although I have
done it by myself.  
 
I've thought about getting a device like this:

_cat=netconcepts&cm_pla=Google&cm_ite=engine%2520hoist
 
It is an engine load leveler, if the link doesn't work, go to Northern
Tools.com and type in Arcan engine load leveler.  It's only $49.99 and I
think I would consider purchasing one as the angle of the assembly becomes
challenging to adjust once the assembly is in the air, this makes it
possible to adjust the angle as needed.

Hi All:

I plan to pull the engine from my 300F. The manual says to remove the
transmission before pulling the engine. Is it possible to pull the engine
with the transmission on it with the radiator out or is the unit too long?
The car will be on the floor and I'll be using a hydraulic engine hoist.
Thanks much.
