What in the way of sheet metal do I need to remove the engine from a 37 sedan? Hood, hood sides, and radiator?

Can fenders and grill stay?

Leave the fenders and grill in place! DD

pull the intake and waterpumps to make things go easy without breaking anything.

I am reinstalling my 221 in the 37 Tudor this week. First I removed the distributor/generator and fan/ intake and plug wires. Then very carefully removed the radiator. Using a cherry picker to lift the radiator up and out makes it a little easier to guide it and not to damage the fins. Then the intake/linkages and water pumps/mounts. You need to lift the floor boards and the transmission cover to access the top half of the bellhousing bolts and chatter rods. Instead of struggling with the bottom radiator hoses just cut them in the center and remove the halves later.
