    Engine Removal on 97 SHO

    Hello, getting ready to pull my engine and replace with new one. I have a question for those who have already done this before. Does the engine and trans need to come out as one or just the engine? Thanks, David

    97 SHO Help

    I have removed the cams and going to get them welded next week. I ended up buying a front head/cam due to a shim flying off and damaging one of the cam buckets/cam and the head. With that said, how hard will it be to get the car into time? I have only installed cams in fox body mustangs. So...
