As a matter of fact, Trucker, the van does have a 360 (I didn't want to mention that on this slant board)
I figured the process would be virtually the same, regardless.

I know some of you own vans. How do you remove the engine? Does it come out the passenger door, or do you have to pull the whole front clip? Jerry |

usually you have to pull the front end out (just the grill rad core support)but to do it this way you will nee an engine lift with a long reach (or an extension poll if you lift will support the weight) or you might be able to pull the k frame out and drop it out the bottom |

What year van. Over the years I've done the motor on my 71 maxi twice. The first time young a dumb, I took the engine out the passenger side door. I'll never do that again. Takes about two hours to take the front end off then use a cherry picker to take the engine out the front. Be sure and work the lift chain short as you can, there is not much room in there. |

It's an 80-something Dodge Maxi-Van. The van is pretty much scrap, so I don't have to worry too much about damaging anything getting the engine out. What was the problem with going out the passenger door? Jerry |

On the "B" series vans the engine is removed through the front-remove the bumper, grille, radiator etc. And as mentioned in an earlier post-keep the chain on the engine hoist as short as possible. Seems that I remember on V8 models removing the carb and manifolds (intake and exhaust) prior to removing the engine made clearance issues much easier to deal with. Good Luck! Todd |

Working the cherry picker sometimes jacking the van up helps. Never pulled a slant. Just my 360's |
