You're talking about a COE right?
I doubt the motor will come out through the hood opening. I don't own a COE of the same style, my oldest is a '47 2nd. I know the motors have been replaced in both of mine, but I didn't do it and don't know how it was done. I'm wondering if you remove the grill and radiator, and maybe the bumper, if it could come out the front. I've managed that approach on a 70's Chevy van.
Otherwise I'd investigate dropping it out the bottom... But to do that you'd need to remove the transmission, clutch, and bellhousing first, and then maybe tilt it backward to clear the front crossmember. And then you'll need to lift the truck to get the motor out from under it.
I'm really just guessing here, so hopefully someone who knows will come along and give some solid information based on experience. Isn't pooling ingorance fun!
