I'm about to put an aluminator in my 03 Mach 1 w/ 55k miles on it. Is it possible to remove the motor from the top or does it have to be removed from underneath? I'm kinda new to mustangs but not cars in general.
Engine swap from the top or bottom?

Do it from the top. You can see my thread showing how I removed it from the top with transmission and long tubes attached a couple threads down from yours.

^^^ +1. I recently installed an Aluminator short block. Here's my build thread. http://www.svtperformance.com/forum...2-Aluminator-4-6-Stroker-with-Procharger-D1SC
I guess I should have stated "if you have access to a lift is it easier to drop it from underneath or easier to pull it out of the top?".
Oh, if I had a lift I would for sure do it from the bottom.
having gone out the bottom Im kinda torn...out the bottom involves undoing a bunch of suspension stuff and either disconnecting the lines to the power steering rack or tying it up out of the way
theres also the AC compressor to deal with going out the bottom, ive seen some people say you can flip it around and lay in on the little shelf where the air box would be but Im not keen on screwing around with lines that have 200+ psi in them.
coming up on this decision myself as the motor has to come back out
