Engine removal

[BlackBedford]

G'day

I have posted this before but Ben was impressed with it and asked me to post it (again)
The trolley really made the motor swap happen.

Pics of mine,,, similar to what Chris has.
This part clamps onto the front crossmember

Then slides over main frame with the wheels

And roll away

Now that is flash! puts mine to shame, but then mine are over 25 years old and made out of what I had to hand.

Hi guys, Iv'e never pulled the engine on a bedford before but do you have to drop the cross member or can it come out with the grill removed. I don't really want to drop the front end because I want it to still roll so I can get it onto a trailer to take to the media blaster.

i recon its easier to drop the front crossmember pull the motor off then wheel it back under:)

people say they can get it out through the bonnet but personally i wouldnt like to try doing that. sounds like a nightmare even had one bloke recon he pulled a 253 v8 out thrught the grill/bonnet??? pretty keen i recon
