Not unless you take a torch and cut the center out of it it isn't...
Or you can cut the radiator support out and pull the motor out the front....

I suppose it actually would be possible if you pull the upper&lower intake off and pull the pan when it gets above the cross member along with the pump and pickup. Then it seriously is possible.

just mark the posistion of the hood reletive to the hinges and take it off, it is just 4 bolts.

I'll take the hood off when the time comes. Thanks, guys.

I pulled the 351W and AOD out of an 87 squad car with the hood on. The cherry picker barely cleared the latch.
