Old motor is out now!!!!

Looks like fun....I'm sure I'll have to do it at some point. ~220k and still running strong though. I've pulled other motors before and have always found it easier to unbolt the collector from the manifold and pull the manifolds with the engine. Is that not the case with these trucks?

So, what's going back in there???

Its a pain... Im doing it outside its cold lol... I tried to get those bolts loose at the end of the manifold couldnt get them 2 break loose..... a replacement vortec 350.... My job brought a 99 tahoe with 50,000miles, on the first transfer, an officer total it out, so I ask my capt. can I get the motor out of it..

Good job Ski. Bit of advice- soak those manifold bolts and put the manifolds on the engine before putting it back in. I've never had manifolds fit when putting them back on. You may have to use a little heat and a spreader to get them back on.
I'm with Atomichoe, bag and tape all the wires and pressure wash the engine compartment. Besides looking good it's just nice to put everything back together in a nice clean engine compartment.

Good job. Good luck.
