1954 R0160 COE SD220 engine removal

Does anyone have experience and tips on removing a SD220 engine from an R-160 COE? I would appreciate any help I can get on this forum.
Thanks.

Is there a particular aspect of this effort that has you stumped ? Do you have all the basic hand tools that you'll need, and a good roll-around hoist ? What about a helper you can call on for those times you can't reach both ends of a bolt at once ?
Other than that, and maybe an acetylene torch for the truly stubborn hardware pieces, it's pretty much just the determination to dive in ! You CAN DO IT !!!

Seize the day !!

Rusty Driver,

I haven't removed an engine from a COE before. It looks like I will have to remove pieces from the front of the cab and slide the engine out the front. I just wondered what pieces I will have to remove.

When I pulled mine, I took it out the front. I removed the bumper, grill, and radiator. I left the fenders on the truck. If I recall, the big problem was getting the oil pan over the front axle and the cherry picker hitting the firewall. I decided that when I put the engine back in the truck, I would use ramps to elevate the front end to allow more room for the cherry picker. Click on picture to enlarge.

Thank you. That is helpful info.

Where are the pictures of this truck? i'd like to follow along the process!

I put this truck on the back burner to work on a couple of others. I bought a good 282 to put in it but I don't think it will work so I'm looking for another one. Here's a few more plus a picture of the two I was working on. Click on picture to enlarge.

I am thinking that one of these IHC/ Orrville crewcabs might look good as a COE.

That Crew Cab would make a great COE. I've got the sheet metal off another truck to do it.
