Like Richard said
You have to remove the radiator, front accesories, Blower, and then release the two prop rods on the hood to open the hood another few inches. Then it will come out, it is still tight but if you go slow and steady it comes right out.
Also there are a bunch of little things on the bottom of the engine that have to come out, and you have to support the front of the trans once the motor is out.
here is what you have to make everything look like before it will come out.

Does anyone know where I can get some detailed instructions on pulling the engine on my 01. I am going with a built short and heads and was curious if anyone has details along with any helpful tips.
Thanks in advance!!!

If you lower it 1" from stock and set it back 1" from stock, it'll make changing the plugs much easier. Plus, the weight distribution is improved.

My vote lift the cab if you can, I'd love to do that. Imagine how easy plug changes we be then

Nope he is talking about my truck.I relocated the motor while I had it apart the last time.It make the plugs easy to get to working around the blower easy just about everything easy to access.PITA to do had to make new frame mounts and some other little things.but it is a bolt in mod although it is on the extreme end.Weight went form 57%ft to 53%ft but also did the fuel cell to the back of the truck but it only HAD 8 gallons of fuel in it when I scaled it so not that big of a change for it.Stan
