to pull engine and trans, just disconnect everything. put your hoist leveler bar so that it will tilt as far back as possible. remove the grille from the hood and disconnect the hood hinge springs.
Are you pulling the wire harness out of the car? There is no disconnect for just the engine part, it is all or nothing. the harness that comes out of the fuse box is for lighting, horns, etc. the engine part comes thru the firewall on the other side. you will need to take most the dash apart to remove that side as a complete unit.
Are you transplanting all this into another car?

hello
im pulling this engine as a potential candidate t drop in my w123. my 280e burns oil so bad it misfires. also a few plugs were damaged from the oil. i got the car this way. its a grey market 280 with cloth seats manual windows and roof 4 speed and eurobumpers. the 280 engine has 120k miles. i suspect valve seals but have not looked into it.
i want the 450 as a back up in case my 280 is gonna need lots of repair
the 450 has 110k miles runs real good and shifts good.
or my other option is to sell the 450 and use the money for the 280
hope this makes sense
