you been better off pulling the motor.for sure you have to time sert the head bolt holes.others also.if you dont,when you torque head down ,gonna pull the threads out of the block.chance of torquing all them bolts down successfully without timeserts-zero

yeah,i cant think of anything good to say about a northstar.my boss been burned a couple of times on them.so he just turns them away.at the dealer,we just sold a engine reseal to cover our butt.around 35 hr labor + parts+whatever else found along the way.best bet-find a really deep ditch and push your car in it.

+1 dropping the whole subframe would have been how I would have done it.
Probably get around without having a rack if you can find jacks that lift is high enough or just have the whole subframe sit lower to the ground to allow for clearance.
But honestly how it's looking now you probably better off just getting a complete junkyard motor. Going in after someone else tore it apart is just asking for problems and who's to say it will even run right afterwards.700g Mini-Monster tank

yeah,subframe and all it comes pretty easy.i'm gonna guess the bottom of the sill will need to be 4 ft off the ground,yikes.did you check the heads for warped.how hot did
it get.if you want to try and do this yourself i might come over to point you in the right direction,but only if ek will come by and call us fools for trying
no guarantee a junkyard motor will be right either
