If the van is going to the crusher the remove grill bumper etc. Remove the carb and use a plate on the manifold to keep the cherry picker arm as close to the block as you will not have much space to lift to get off the mounts. You may neet to remove the brackets from the block to allow the motor and trans to slide out. Its tricky with not much room. I did it in a former life in the Hobby Shop on Navy base in a 72 custom going from /6  3-speed to a built 273 w/push button 727. Van was a screamer and faster than the Camaro I sold prior to getting the van.

Subject: Mopar Related Dodge Van

I have been given a 1972 1/2 ton Dodge van that is headed for the
crusher.  It has a good LA 318 and antomatic that I am going to pull
first.

I've never pulled the engine and trans from a van, is there any tricks
and can they be pulled as one unit?

Thanks for any suggestions.  Please reply to me directly.
