Jeff_E Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 See the "engine cranes" thread in the Tools/Computers/internet section. It's pretty close to the top of the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron_Johnson Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I use a palte I made that bolts to where the turbo pedastal does and use a forklift with one fork removed. I find it easier than the ford lifting tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJP Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Yes remove both mounts, oil pan, & pick-up. Make sure you remove the ICP sensor in right valve cover to or you will brake it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
