This winter i want to do cam/head swap and i was told the easiest way to do it is drop the engine out the bottom of the car. Yesterday i was at a friends house and they told me it would be much easier to remove the front clip. Im not sure how i would go about this or what would have to be done? what do u think?

 

I don't think removing the front clip will make it any easier to remove the engine.

 

Yea that won't do anything for you.. Its not a Jeep!

 

well if we took off front clip we could keep engine in the car and do cam/heads...?

 

You still wouldn't have to pull the front clip. I'm currently in the middle of a cam swap and i still the the front clip on the car. To get the heads off with the motor still in the car would be more difficult but i don't see why its not possible

 

Check shoebox's web page you don't have to go through all that.

You would be suprised how much room there is when the radiator hoses, radiator and ac condensor is out of the vehicle.

 

See my reply on "that other board".

 

when i did my cam swap, i just pulled the radiator and condensor and all hoses out of the way. there is definitely plenty of room for the cam swap in the car. i drove my car to my dads garage let it cool and had the cam out in less than 2 hours. (my dad has done this many times which helps.) the heads could be trick but are managable.
