'97 Cobra Engine Removal????? Please Help.

[MikeC]

Hi guys, first time posting and I could use some help.

I have a line on a '97 Cobra with a bearing problem. I am not concerned with the fix after I have the engine out, but how difficult is it to actually remove the engine from the car. Any tips on making it easier? How much would said car be worth with 24K miles, loaded, black/black, totally stock? BTW, I may be able to get this one for ~$8k as is. Good Deal?

Thanks for any and all replies.

Mike

I should probobly add that I've done this before, I have just heard horror stories about some late model cars and want to be sure I can actually pull the engine out without dropping subframes, or pulling the front clip off, etc, etc....
