circa.13 Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 I'm looking to pull my L20b out of the 510 and I'm curious what's the best way to do it? Is it easier to pull it out with the transmission(no using the trans) with it at the same time? Thanks comrades I'm on my phone so I dont see the search option. :( Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Either way. If it makes you feel better to pull the trans, go for it. I think it's easier to pull it as a unit. It's all about the angle of your dangle. Quote Link to comment

INDY510 Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 . an engine load leveler goes a long way ........ . . . and the oil pan doesn't like the radiator core support ....... so plan on dents and scratches Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 What about undoing the cross member and lifting the car? (yes probably more involved). Quote Link to comment
circa.13 Posted May 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 What about the locations to bolt the hoist to? Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Haha I like that angle of your dangle. That's what she said. What about the locations to bolt the hoist to? Mine came with 2 brackets, eye-holes, to facilitate a load leveler/chains. They were on the LF and the RR of the motor. I've only ever seen a few L's with them. I'm definitely putting them on any motor I install back in. If you don't have these, Big bolt through the chain links on opposite corners. Be careful, and think very hard about where you're bolting to. Quote Link to comment
Rustina 510 Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 We pulled my motor and tranny together it was easy. Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 I've always pulled them separately, but I've heard together is easier. I'm always paranoid of hitting the core support, but the last time I did it I didn't have an engine load leveler either. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Remove the rad and distributor. Remove battery. Unwire the starter but leave on tranny. Drain the tranny and stuff rags in the end. Lift the car so the tranny tail has room to drop as the motor tilts up and out. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 best to have a cut driveline to put in trans to keep oil from comming out all over the place if doing a motor trans pull. 510s Ihave done only motor as theres room maybe take off the water pump or install pump later. jack up trans also helps Quote Link to comment
