Thread: Can you remove and replace a piston from a 350 from the bottom

Tweet

Take a look at these pictures and see if you think you can. In my experience, no - and believe me, I have tried it in the car without removing the heads or the crank; it don't work even with the crank out.

I've seen some reference to being able to get #7 piston out from the bottom, but none of the others. Not sure if that's right or not, but there are several places on different forums that say it's possible.
