Motor Help

[kingcolbert83]

Ok guys I plan on pulling my motor out next week and putting a full gasket set on it. I want to do a motor swap but not really cost effective with gas prices. I have 78 buick regal with a chevy 305 motor.

I am studying to be a auto technician but we havent made it to engine overhaul yet. My question for all the people out there is what do I need to disconnect to get the motor out the car? IE...starter wire and so forth. Car is carb.

Disconnect everything one by one....and mark everything with little tags.
Just take your time and do it right. You have an engine puller and a stand, correct?

I would also take a digital camera and document everything from every angle as you disassemble it. That way, you have a photographic record of how it all goes back together.

Just to reinforce what has already been said, because it is so correct, take your time and document/label/keep everything in order; when you take out the motor. It will save you loads of time and headache this way.
