So my 350000 km original 7.3 **** the bed when over performed it last week, apparently breaking the block causing hydro-lock and bending things. All the coolant went south and I see bent pushrods on the driver side and that's when I began the arduous task of retrieveing the van motor still in the van in a crowded junk yard.
I had planned on the week long excavator rental (and thankfully can still transport it with a '94 cummins dodge {oh how nice drooling} so I'm thinking it will be purposed to these tasks in addition.
The mini ex is a 1.7 and I read it has a 1100 lbs + change lifting force at 3m extension. These boat anchors are under 900 lbs with accessories removed, correct? Does yoinking the cut frame out from under the van body and the more gentle task of removing and installing engines in the f250 seem at all reasonable or am I asking for trouble? I would consider lifting over the rad support leaving the zf in place. But I will also be troubleshooting the clutch shake when hot issue with the recently new clutch, flywheel and I wonder if there is best advice on the approach. I heard hanging the clutch on the input is a thing.
