How to Change a motor

Your a young teenage boy that gets your first old car, you got your loud exhaust on and you love the loud noise your car makes. Ever time you pull in somewhere and your friends are there and say "rev er" you hold the throttle of your car wide open. After so many times of doing this your motor is eventually going to blow. So I'm going to explain to you how to change a motor in older cars. I'm not familiar with newer cars but i figure most boys around here have older cars.

The first thing you do when you go to change a motor is take the hood off of your car. You do this so you have lots of room to work and so you can pull the motor out. After you get this done you move to the front of the car, you take the shroud off (the plastic piece the goes over your radiator). Then you unhook your hoses going from your motor to the radiator and hall the radiator out of place (make sure you place a bucket under tho hoses so you wont get any fluids on the grounf). After this you take the fan off the front of the motor, then you go to your alternator, you loosen this and take the belt off then you take the alternator completely off. Then move over to the other side of the front of the motor and loosen your power steering belt,take it off, and then take your power steering belt completely off. you then move to the top of the motor where the carburetor is, you take that off along with your fuel line that runs down to the fuel pump on the side of the motor, make sure that when you unhook the fuel lines that you block them off to prevent gas from leaking. After you have this done you move to the exhaust system on the motor which is the manifolds. You leave the exhaust hooked to your manifold but you unhook your manifolds from each side of the motor. All you have left now is two steps. The next step is to take your to motor support bolts out, then you unhook your (5) transmission bolts from your motor, and you unhook the (3) torque bolts that hook to your motor on the transmission. The Wrenches you use for this job colud vary from 7mm too 1 1/2 ".

After all of this is done you then haul your motor out of place with whatever devise you plan on using. When you go to put your new motor in make sure to hook everything back up (from the last thing you took off to the first thing you took off). Follow these steps and you should do fine changing your motor.
