Bulletproof diesel makes a nice kit. You could also pick up one of their egr coolers also. Then just get the rest from ford.

So today I was ready to lift the motor guess the motor wasn't ready it snapped a 3/8" grade 70 chain like it was a dog chain also for anyone who has pulled this motor out of the E series do I need to remove the pan and the sump it doesn't look as if there will be enough room to clear the cross member otherwise

I assume you are using just a normal engine crane.. it that respect, yea you have to remove pan... We have a Powerstroke lifting bracket just for 6.0 and 7.3... it allows me to tilt the motor over the hump and install a long block with no issue....

incase someone wants to build one....

E series the pan has to come off.

E series the pan has to come off.

the guy just posted pictures of them installing a new long block...pretty sure they aren't going to pull the pan on a new engine

 

[Powerstrokeracing]

It's like a special tool to remove them. Gotta have it or its a pain

2006 e350 van. Heads, studs, injectors and powermax. Let m know if ya need anything.

 

[webb06]

i can only imagine trying to do that without the special bracket...

 

[DEEZUZ]

Yea only other simplified way islike above, lift body... But most e series I mess with are ambulance or buses, so its a no go, bracket a must.

E series the pan has to come off.

So the F series WILL come out with the pan? I have one I have to pull and was told to remove the pan first.

 

[DEEZUZ]

yes, but still tear down the front end

 

[Big Angry Hillbilly]

The "proper" ford lifting bracket and crane supposedly lifts the engine out with the front end together still.

Never worked anywhere that's had one so its either front clip apart or cab off.

 

[Farmrod]

Yeah I'm working on a bus so no lifting the body I got it out had to remove the pan then it was super easy

 

[Big Angry Hillbilly]

I'm a large lad. I don't like school buses, ambulances, or even vans in general. Except to do HPOP and up pipes on lol. Even then both front seats come out.
