Hello all. My son and I are trying to remove a 235 with a four speed transmission out of a 1952 Chevy 3100. The transmission is hitting the cross member. When we try to get the front of the engine higher to increase the angle, the back of the engine hits the cab. And then there is the issue of how the top part of the transmission clears the fire wall. We were hoping to pull out the old as a unit and install a new as a unit. The manual indicates that it can be done, but I was wondering if the assumption was a column shift and because ours was a floor shift, it wasn't applicable.
Any tips would be appreciated.
