you have to undo a BUNCH of crap, especially if you have mods and such to pull the motor. It's a tight fit. Just as easy to remove the cab and pull the motor out because you can get at everything, and not have to worry about scratching or denting anything. No i have no idea if any of this is true, just from reading ont he board.
If someone could post a step by step of what needs to be disconnected to lift the cab, that would be splendid. I have a lift and the abililty to lift the cab.

Yup. Now I'm curious why anyone would pull the engine out with the cab off.

but after looking at it for a few minutes, I said screw it and raised the cab.
it may be a little additional work, but it makes everything so much easier.
it's a personal preference thing.
I can't see pulling it out through the hood, some people can't see lifting the cab.
also, alot of folks may not have a lift, so raising the cab is not even an option at times.
later,

Ive done it both ways I think pulling the cab is the easier than out the top. The cab can removed in about 45 minutes and gives you total access to everything. Just my .02

But I think I'll go with the 3rd option

I have removed the engine in 4 hrs but it takes about 10 hrs to but back in and drive away.
The Ford service manual say's to remove it through the engine bay. They even call out a special lift tool that attaches to the front alternator mount bolt holes and the top two tranny bolt holes.
