Default Motor Pull Issues

The motor is unbolted from the tranny. What is the best way to get the motor out? I don't see alot of room between the oil pan and k member. How far forward will the motor have to be to get the input shaft clear of the motor? Also is there a special tool to get the bellhousing bolts undone. Any help or tricks will help

Bellhousing bolts are going to be about a total of 2-2 1/2' of extensions just to get to the top 3-5 bolts. Maybe a wobble to get the one above the starter. Hope that helps some.

a lot of people drop the whole K member out with the motor on it.. but what i did was this..

drained the tranny... dropped the driveshaft..torque arm is off..unbolt the secondary tranny bellhousing..slide the tranny back..take off the slave cylinder...then pull the engine through the top with the primary bellhousing and clutch pack still attached to the engine..dissamble the primary bvellhousing and clutch pressureplate pkg from the engine and hve fun!
