dboisen Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Is there any way of insalling a motor without taking the grille panel off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comanchemodder Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I pulled the 2.5L 4cyl with the grill panel in place. I did remove the radiator. I did not pull the engine with the tranny however. The tranny stayed in the truck. Last time I do that btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dboisen Posted December 21, 2013 Author Share Posted December 21, 2013 I have 6 cyl and it pulled fine but it doesnt look like it will fit unless I take out the grill panel or take parts off the firewall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser54 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I have NEVER removed the grill panel on a 4.0 to swap an engine. I don't even pull the radiator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnuck Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Only if I pull the trans with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yxmj Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Do you still have the cross member in ? If so take it out and your angle can be increased to give you more clearance. (I am speaking here of course with the trans attached.....if just the motor going in..... drop your rear drive shaft and move the trans back for more room) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
