![]() I know this is subjective and different for everyone but on the average how long does it take someone to remove a 5.0 HO engine with an automatic trans. I know I will have some problems along the way but I just want to know what to expect. Or you can put how long a pro takes and how long an extreme novice takes. Thanks.

![]() It takes me about a day because i take my time and mark/catalouge everything. If you have a friend and you guys just relax and go at an even pace you can make a nice weekend out of it. If you go balls to the wall it can be out in about 3 hours. But relax and take your time.

![]() Ok, thanks. I will take my time and label everything. I need to try to make it fun but I do get frustrated sometimes. I didn't plan on pulling it but I dropped something in the dist. hole. I will get plastic bags and label everything. I just didn't want it to be down too long. Thanks Again.

![]() right, label everything like noslow5.0 said, it really helps on reassembly. do you plan on pulling the trans too or leaving it in?

![]() it takes about an hour to pull everything for me, marking is a good idea, but the connectors only go to each other, so you wont mess up. save yourself some time and just lift the engine up a few inches and drop the pan. if youre only trying to get what you dropped no need to pull everything. you could even pull the the timing cover and get a magnet in there.
