Why would you pull the engine out the front? Only if you have no
hoist!! The engine comes out the bottom so much more easily - and so
much faster. Goes in a lot easier too. But for heads alone, no need
to pull it out.

In fact, I don't believe it is even possible to get a 4.0 liter out
the front. A 3.0 is bad enough to wrangle out. Getting the pulley out
over the front frame without putting the block through the dash/cowl
is more than one trick.
