New question. Can I pull the 216 with the transmission as a unit once I remove the floor shift lever? It is a 3 speed unit. I'd rather not need to pull the rear axle back to remove the transmission. I will remove the radiator and grill as well as the core support.
If have a enclosed drive shaft (Torque tube).
With the radiator and grill removed, front and rear engine mounts unbolted.
When pulling the engine up and forward the U-Joint Ball housing will just slide off the end of the Torque tube.
You might want to drain the lube out of the transmission first.
Otherwise some lube will come out of the U-Joint Ball housing.
If you do not have a enclosed drive shaft (Torque tube)you might have to unbolt the u-joint first, then pull.

The Chrevrolet 1941 Truck Pack...
1/2 ton truck has Torque tube.
3/4 ton and up, Open drive shaft. Looks like they all have slip joint yokes, so when you pull they will just slip off the drive shaft.
Just remove the floor shift lever and pull engine and tranny together.
