Not the normal Crank Pulley question.

[mjernigan]

I'm about to move my motor from my 87 turbo to a better early 89 body.

I'm moving the Motor/Tranny/Driveshaft.

My question is:

Do I need to remove the Crank Pulley for clearance issues, or can I pretty much pull the motor / swing it around and install it?

I'm using the following post as my reference:

Nope, i never remove the pulley. Just go slow and be careful, put a thick towel or rag on the radiator support area so it doesnt scratch it up.

Ive removed and installed both an 87 motor and a 89 year motor in my supra and i never have to remove the crank pulley or transmission.

Thanks.

Other than the post I'm using for help, any other things to look out for?

Cant really think of too much, its pretty difficult to do it by yourself so see if youve got a partner. Just take your time and go slow. You'll prob forget to unhook a few lines haha

When i remove my engine i keep it pretty much 100% intact, minus driveshaft, shifter, down pipe, and intercooler. I keep all wiring intact too.
