Once again, I have the privilege of blowing a day of my illustrious schedule to pull another IDI from my van.\u00a0 Yay.<\/p>\n
Unlike my previous engine pulls, the 6.9 out of the 1984 E350<\/a> and the 7.3 out of the 1988 E250 Clubwagon<\/a>, I took the time to record two videos of this process.\u00a0 One video (to be completed) will be a timelapse of our entire engine pull, engine prep, and engine reinstallation process, along with audio commentary.\u00a0 The whole process took a few days, so a timelapse is the only logical way to document it.\u00a0 The second video is showcased below, showing a moderately-edited sequence of the engine pull.\u00a0 This took a little over an hour, so this video cuts out a lot of the putzing around and just shows the highlights.<\/p>\n If your goal is to learn anything from this, I would strongly encourage you to visit the aforementioned links showing precisely the 6.9 and 7.3 IDI engine pulls step-by-step.\u00a0 This video is kind of cool, but it’s not really that educational.<\/p>\n I could think of nothing more boring than spending my time watching two guys fart while trying to squeeze an IDI buttbaby out of a Ford Van, but if you are a masochist, here is the big show:<\/p>\n
