That is correct, I want to be able to clean it and remove all the smog ports, off the truck, without impacting its use.

I have a spare, I can go get a pic if interested

OGMB2K

Orangemazda Please do, as long as it is not cracked it'll be ok. I want to clean it up, polish it, etc ...

I likely grab it after the holidays, so let me know how much you want for it please ..

Here’s a pic of that intake manifold

OGMB2K

Looks like I'll be starting at step 0, LOL.

If that's for the 2.2L, with carb, then let me know what you want for it and if possible get me a shipping estimate please to 34772.

Thank you for digging it up.

I can’t figure out if there’s messaging on this app so text me at (360) 303-3440 and we’ll work out the details

OGMB2K

Orangemazda Hey there, I sent you a text on 1/10, it was from a 954 area code. Did you get the message?

OGMB2K

Orangemazda Getting ready to pull the engine and inspect the intake. I'll let you know once the motor is out and work begins ..

Thank you

Orangemazda

OGMB2K no, I didn’t

OGMB2K hey I forget what do you have a 5-speed or an automatic?

I just pulled my motor from the project truck and it's an automatic and it was a biatch!

Five speeds are much easier!

OGMB2K

It's a 5 speed, as far as engines go its simple, I'm just hoping to not damage the oil pan, by running a strap around the motor.

When I pulled the engine I pulled the torque converter with it that made it extra extra difficult because it just about took up 10 to 12 inches in the engine bay.

I didn't quite understand the instructions on removing the engine when it's an automatic.

The Chilton and the Mazda service manual were unclear but the Haynes manual was more clear.

I realized this after I had pulled it.

Still difficult because there's a lot of extra steps even if you do follow the instructions.

This engine is severely locked up and this would make it difficult for anyone to get the four torque converter bolts loose.

The oil pan is stronger than you think I don't believe you will collapse it.

How about doin this using two straps??

OGMB2K

That's my plan .. I was thinking about hooking in the front to the hook it has and wrapping a strap around the rear. But I see you are using the motor mounts at an anchor ... quite crafty you are .. lol

Thanks for the heads up ..
