Removing the engine from the 1993 Mustang GT so we can work on the frame rails

Today we are removing the engine from the 1993 Ford Mustang GT convertible so that we can do some work on the engine itself and have some room to work on the frame rails.

Its always astonishing to see how that you remember where everything goes when you begin reassembly. Some of it is probably muscle-memory, the bulk of it is just pure genius. Fascinating!

Always spray the electrical connector shells with WD-40. It will wash out the dust & dirt and you will be surprised how easy the connectors come apart.

Hey Scott, while you're in there, replace the trans dip stick tube O ring at the base of the tube. They dry up and crack pretty often because of that light-off cat right next to them, and when they do, you get a nice big red puddle on the ground. And to get to it, you have to drop the whole exhaust H pipe because that cat is right in the way.

I can’t wait to see the next video drop. I will wait patiently as I know sometimes things just don’t happen as quickly as we like. You & yours take care, have a great weekend and I’ll see you in the next installment. 😊

Watching you pulling that engine out reminded me of my 69 AMC Ambassador. I bought it with transmission issues and got it cheap. I was starting to pull the transmission when something dripped in my face. After spotting 3 core plugs that were wet, I decided to pull the engine and transmission together. It was so much easier to get to the core plugs and lining up the transmission and engine when I put it back in was a breeze. It also made fixing some hillbilly engineering on the wiring easier to correct. That was in 97 and I drove that car for 3 round trips from Middle Tennessee to Houston Texas. It was the best riding car I've ever owned. They don't build cars like that anymore.

The injector connectors ( called "salt and pepper shakers") can be removed by squeezing the tabs in, that is why they have a split on the lock tabs.

@vehcor 10 ай бұрын

I’ll take “sure fire way to break the connector tabs for $1000”, Alex. You are right, that is what the engineer intended but like most things engineers dream up, it doesn’t work quite like it did on paper. Sure it will be very easy to disconnect and reconnect but getting it to stay connected without the tabs is the tricky part. You see, pushing the tab allows it to slide around the lock on each side. That pulls the tabs perpendicular to the direction they are molded. 30 year old plastic isn’t forgiving.
