August 6th, 2023 Update
Pick-n-Pull still had the 83 F350, so I pulled the motor, radiator & steering column today.
This was the sketchiest engine removal I’ve ever done. Pick-N-Pull’s provided A-Frame was pretty bad and the gear box was falling apart.
The other option was an A-Frame hoist that had a ripping seat belt used to attach the chain hoist to the frame. I thought it was best to avoid using
that one…

Total removal time was about 1 hour, since I pulled the transmission last week.

Backed up and centered the F150 and lowered the motor into the bed.

Today’s total damages came out to:
$435. They felt bad for me and gave me a bunch of discounts, and only charged me for a complete Gas motor
