Full 2004 Mustang 4.6L Engine Removal

In this one I show you each and every step I used to remove the engine from this Mustang to start the process of a 5.4L swap. Their are some victories and a lot of frustrating moments. I tried to make everything transparent about this process and not remove the difficulties along the way. It may have been easier to remove the transmission with the engine, but chose to leave it in the car.
