vhackler -> finally got my mustang (5/3/2008 9:39:20 AM)

hi folks,

my wife decided i needed a hobby.  so i just bought an 89 mustang lx with the 5.0 and she's going to give me 300 bucks a month to fix it up for an undefined period of time.  the car cost about 2 grand and is a daily driver that leaks oil and shifts a bit rough (AOD).  at first i was going to rip the whole car apart and rebuild it, but after i lifted the hood and came to realization that i don't know nearly enough, so i decided to start small, and save my money for after i know what i'm doing. 

my plan is to buy a rebuild kit that includes the pistons and simply overhaul the engine.  after that, i'll move on to headers, intake, etc.  my question is this:  does anybody know of a book or website that will give me step by step instructions on removing the engine?  i see a lot about the engine itself, but not so much about its removal.  any assistance would be appreciated.

thanks.

i got a haynes manual for my stang. It covers the 1994 - 2004 models. I dont know if they have one for an 89. I suppose they do. Cost me $20 from Advance. The book helps out alot.
