Attach an engine hoist to the engine lift points at the driver's front and passenger's rear areas of the
engine. One easy way to do this is with a chain and bolt on the other side of the hole. An alternative to
this is to wrap chains through the back of the engine mounts and bolt the chain together for lifting. This
will give you a balanced lift point.
1997 4.6L DOHC Engine and T-45 transmission on hoist
Take up the slack on the chain slowly. Check to make sure that no hoses or wires remain connected to
the engine.
Remove the bolts from the transmission cross-member and remove the cross-member.
Check again to make sure that all wires and straps are removed.
Lift the engine off the engine mounts and guide it out of the engine bay. Guide the rear of the
transmission out of the transmission tunnel carefully.
Set the engine/transmission assembly on an old tire with no rim or on engine stands to avoid damaging
the oil pan.

The 4.6L oil pan is too deep to use and must be changed for a shallow pan from Canton or
Morosso
