[Steven's 72]

OK Guys,

I have a one car garage (limited space) and I would like to pull the motor and trans on my 72 so I can have time to clean up the engine compartment, put in my new inner fenders and touch up the frame and firewall Before I take it to the shop for my new motor and trans TH 400 and a 454BB.


My question, Should we pull the motor and Trans together or seperate (400SB and th350)?

Any suggestions and or comments on this matter?

Thanks guys

Personal choice. I like to pull them out as a pair. Just make sure to stick a spare yoke in the tailshaft of your tranny, or you'll be doing some mopping up.

It helps to have a friend help guide it out too, so you don't wind up smoking the windshield or other surfaces with the tailshaft.

Nice looking and sounding ride. :thumbsup:

Agreed.
As stated before. Plug the tail shaft on the trans and take your time.

I've had my motor out 4 times now,and I found it was easier to take the tranny off.

Thanks Guys, Hey Mike how is your ride coming along?

if you are taking the old motor out yourself, then why are you paying someone else to put a big block back in? it's a simple matter to change the mounts and drop the big block in- a big block is a lot like a small block, just bigger.

pull it together, easier...
and when time comes to put it all back, def easier to put trannie in to motor outside too
