is it easier to pull the motor w/ the tranny still attached?
I need to remove the 318 from my 67 Plymouth. the question is would it be
easier if I also removed the 727 transmission still attached? All this work will be done on my back in my garage. TIA Greg |

It's almost always easier to pull the engine and transmission together. Just disconeect the linkages, transmissin and engine mount bolts, acessories, etc. and hoist them out as as single unit. The main difficulty in doing them separately is reinstalling the engine and trying to properly connect it to the tranny while lyng on your back, etc. You'll also have the advantage of detailing/cleaning the engine bay and the transmission bay as well as the transmission itself. |

I agree, and if you're pulling the motor to rebuild, iits also a good idea
to change filter & fluid on tranny. If you don't own one, rent an engine tilter to use along with the hoist to make the job MUCH, MUCH easier - I've done it both with and without, and the tilter was well worth the investment. You can adjust the angle of the engine/trans combo during pull and reinstall. Here's a couple of examples http://www.etoolcart.com/index.asp?P...OD&ProdID=3691 http://www.menintools.com/shop/tilter.html Another thing to have ready is a spare driveshaft tranny yoke, (or tranny specific plastic plug) to seal the tailshaft and keep from spewing tranny fluid everywhere. http://www.moroso.com/catalog/catego...?CatCode=24002 In a pinch, a rattlecan spray paint cap and duct tape can be a viable substitute. If, as you begin to lift the motor, and you encounter any resistance, stop and double-check to make sure everything is diconnected, or you might end up having to repair somthing - like maybe a backup light connector.

General hint for putting standard tranny back onto installed engine: Lift the rear of the car a bit higher than level so gravity will help you put it in and hold it while you fumble with the bolts. |
