Replacing engine. What to do while the engine is out?

jared.hammel · Oct 1, 2015

I have a 99 1500 5.9 Magnum. I going to be pulling my blown engine out on a few weeks and I'm wanting to know what kind of mods should I do while the engine is out. And that would require it to be out or are just easier with it out of the way. Just want a general list of things I could do while the engine is out.

Cam, timing chain, headers, intake manifold, heads

Awesome. Thank you!

Personally i would focus on timing chain plenum and headers for starters but if you can swing the cash it'll be easier to do a cam with engine out and heads would be a good addition too

Dumb question... Heads are not the valve covers right?......... :suicide:

Are you sure you can replace the engine?

I'm not doing it alone. I haven't done any major engine work like this before. My dad is a mechanic and he'll be assisting me... Learning opportunity ha ha

Clean up the engine bay too. Degrease, maybe paint, sort through some wiring and put some wire loom around it, make it pretty!

OMG! Change tq converter. Stock TCs in these trucks are junk. TCs and valvebody problems are what cause these trans to grenade
