Engine Removal: Corvette: 1965-70

Engine and transmission must be removed as a unit as follows: 

1. Drain all systems, and disconnect all wires, hoses, and linkages. Remove radiator, fan blades and pulley. On 327" engines when draining cylinder block it will be necessary to remove the starting motor heat shielding and ignition lower shielding for clearance.
2. On 327" engines, remove heater hoses at exhaust manifold routing clamp. Disconnect accelerator linkage at accelerator pedal, and ground straps at accelerator linkage and engine left front mount.
3. On cars with automatic transmissions, disconnect cooler lines at transmission. On 327" engines, remove crankcase vent tube, then disconnect oil pressure gauge line.
4. Remove exhaust pipe clamps at exhaust pipe support yoke (except on cars with side-mounted exhaust system). Attach lifting device to cylinder heads, raise and support transmission, and remove rear mount and exhaust pipe yoke.
5. On cars with synchro-mesh transmissions, remove gearshift lever and bracket assembly from adapter plate on side of transmission.
6. Remove propeller shaft bolts at transmission, wire yoke onto transmission and tape universal joint bearings to trunnion.
7. Remove front mount through bolts and remove engine and transmission as a unit.
