I usually will not say something, its not my place to do so. In the old days you could take an engine from the top its been done 100x, but I think it would have been so much easier just to drop it from below, the old days the caravan had a k frame and it was a pain to drop it, but you only basically had that bar w/ 6 bolts. Wow just too much work. I did love your engine swap on the Chevy and it was the best 4 plus hours I spent.

Wow maldonadok5, you've never been a mechanic have you! Fixing one thing often causes another to fail, putting in a stronger engine places more stress on the transmission and the rest of the drive train. Repairing systems with a lot of wear is ALWAYS a crap shoot. This is particularly true in mechanically hostile environments, like New York for example.

20: 19 On those caravan engines some ahole at Dodge decided the use M6 bolts to hold the water pump on. I've had those dam things break off in the aluminum and they are impossible to get out due to them being so small. I use stainless m6 bolts when replacing the water pump to make sure they come out on the next change out.

Yeah. I am sure as maldonadok5 stated, you caused the damage so you could fix it, and be led to more frustration with a Dodge that you dont like anyway. Eric, you do a great job in dealing with difficulties, especially when they are bound to happen on a job like this.

I think this is such a hack job. I also think he created the original damage that cause this engine swap. he's got job security with this minivan because it seems like he fixes one thing but wrecks two other things its a cycle with this guy.

I called my local Chinese restaurant and they confirmed there are many ways to skin a cat. I hung up when they asked how I planned to prepare it and threw their takeout menu away.
