Most of the time I see the front clip fully removed but can I get always with removing the front grill, radiator mount and radiator? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 2,393 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 2,393 | Yes, just removing what you suggest should be good enough. It would also help if you raised the front end on jack stands too for added clearance, but that's not required.

So I can get away with just removing the radiator??? and pulling it forward | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 5,337 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 5,337 | I have pulled a lot of 216s and 235s from those trucks and I only remove the radiator. I also remove the water pump. I also unbolt the bell-housing from the engine and leave it bolted to the cross-member. That leaves the engine short enough to clear as it comes up. Since you have a 250 there may be a slight difference.
