Any tips on how to quikly remove the engine without damage to the engine I don't care if I damage the car I want to pull the engines out of my 2 parts cars and get rid of the bodies.

If I can finally get rid of them then I will have a shop to do work in again. I've had enough working outside in the heat. If I can actually get it so I can use the shop I'll be able to work on the cars in the summer.

The last parts car we had we cut the nose off then dropped the struts and crossmember. The engine came out the front real easy.

drop the front crossmember, pull the rad, and then undo the 4 bolts to torque tube, and the 2 bolts for the motor mounts then lower engine slightly and pull forward to clear cross member and lift out (provided fuel system and electrical already pulled

Yep, you can even drop the whole drivetrain down a bit after you unbolt the motor mounts- then you can get to the torque tube bolts more easily.

Or, Cut the entire car in half with a torch just behind the dash. Then you can get to the torque tube bolts really easily...

That doesn't sound to bad with any luck I can get started tommorow night. The torque tube has already been disconnected from both engines along with the exhaust. I have large wire cutters to remove any wires the harnesses are way past salvage anyways. So it shouldn't take to long then I just need to get them hauled off.

I'm going to have a very busy year.

hmmmm although you didnt say if it was important to keep the motor together get a hoist if not though jack the frnt & remove crossmember and take engine down and drop blck & remove from underneath..if yer strong enough pull head off whole with intake & exhaust. Youll be popin out the pistons soon enough awe forget it just use the hoist thatll be fastest.
