Engine mount question

[dylan5299]

Does having the transmission not mounted have anything to do with my engine sagging? I just bought this truck with no tranny and I was trying to get the fuel lines off but there's no way because it's sagging so low. Do I need new mounts? Thanks for the help.

Without the trans , yeah the engine will hang down. Be careful of the distributor, but looks to be MIA. A block of wood and a floor jack carefully placed and you can push the engine up

No it's there haha it's sagging that far. It's not against the firewall though just pretty damn close. But Thank you for your answer

Where do you suggest to put the block of wood?

Please don't use the oil pan.

I use a ratchet strap rated for at least 500 pounds across the frame rails and under the oil pan to support an engine or tranny.
