Pulling an engine question I've never pulled an auto out the top before. If I undo the converter<->flex plate bolts can I leave the tranny in the car otherwise connected and pop the engine out the top? Or would I have to drop the tranny out the bottom first? Usually I take engine+tranny out the top together, but if I can get away leaving the tranny in the car mounted up I'd prefer to do that. Doing an engine R&R.
Re: Pulling an engine question I just pulled my motor out from the top two nights ago. I put a floor jack under the trans, and let it stay in there. The motor came right out, Hood still on the car and everything. Plenty of room.
Hope this helped.

Re: Pulling an engine question Pull the motor right out from the top and leave the tranny like you said Terry, my brothers SS is sitting in the shop now with his th350 in and the engine is out...No problem... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Re: Pulling an engine question I had the heads off when i pulled mine out. I dont know if i should have but i used two head bolts to yank her out. It didnt elongate the holes or bend the bolts, so i think it was ok.
