Relacing motor in 9-5 Aero

Are there any write ups on swapping out shortblocks on the 9-5? What steps do I need to take (does the engine come out of the bottom?) Also, would a sludged motor with damaged rods need new heads?

Thanks

Well fair warning on the 9-5 and going out through the bottom. When you drop out the subframe everything out in front: radiator, condenser, intercooler, etc. will come dropping out with it.
actually anytime the techs here have done an engine job its been through the top. also they have done through the bottom as well and the intercooler, rad, etc they left in the car. they just use a clothe strap to hold everything in place.
