I purchased a restored ‘46 1/2t with an updated’54 235 engine. Unfortunately I determined it has a rod/ crank issue and need to pull the engine out for repair. Yet to be determined is the quality of the previous rebuild.
I have a fair amount of experience with sbc & a/t. This my first experience with the 6 cyl. & 4 speed crash box. I tried to research some info but came up short.
My question is, what is my best option, I would like to pull just the engine with bell housing but is it a better option to leave the trans. attached. I’m looking for the easiest option for both removal and reinstalling. My main concern is my inexperience with manual transmission and related items. I thought I read that the engine & trans could be removed separately.
Any tips and advice or even a link to a related thread would be greatly appreciated.
