98 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 Magnum engine removal

I will add to the previous posts that the top bellhousing bolts can be tricky to get to. I have found that the easiest way to get to them is with a socket attached to a wobble extension bar (such as these: http://www.harborfreight.com/9-piece-14-38-and-12-drive-wobble-socket-extensions-67971.html ), followed by a stack of regular extension bars long enough to ratchet behind the transmission or wherever you have room to swing the ratchet. You may need to remove the transmission crossmember and drop the transmission a little bit to get to those top bolts. If you do that, be careful to keep the transmission supported, and consider removing the distributor to prevent crushing it against the firewall.
