My buddys Leo & deron Mcgraws shop. They had the motor all unbolted and ready for us to pull. We went over to his shop today and the 4 of us pulled and took apart the 440 in less them two hours. We had originally decides to pull the nose first and debated back and forth . Leo was able to get a huge long cherry picker so we pulled it leaving the nose on.  Enjoy the pictures!

 :drool5:  The replacement block and crank are at the machine shop being hot tanked and assembled as a short block .  It's a standard bore 71 440 block . Hopefully it will be finished this week so we can get it over to leo's shop soon for reassemble.

 :popcrn: The last shot of the hood is really freaky. The reflective 440 + 6 decals came through the blanket.  You could not see them with the naked eye ? Really wild ?

We went ahead and tore the top end off the motor to make sure what carnage had happened. Nice shot of the broken cam . No push rods where bent , Valves look ok but we will pull them and check them out anyway to make sure .

did you have to take the air out of your front tires ?  to get the car lower. that's  a pretty orange boat anchor you have there .  :rotz:

 This was a 69 dated HP six pac motor , But the pistons were .60 over which i didnt know . I was told when i bought it they were  only .30 over . This explains some of my over heating problems. I was told to stay away from .60 over for the street and cars driven long distance which we do alot!

No we left the ass end of the car on the 4 post lift and the front end on the ground. Then slowly jacked up the rear watching to not hit the front spoiler on the cherry picker.  It worked well just had to be really careful of the nose and spoiler.
