I pulled the engine on my '51 with the transmission in place, but I used an engine leveler bolted to the valve cover bolts. That's not an option on your 235 however. The 55.2 shop manual I have says remove the engine and transmission together, using eyebolts in place of two cylinder head bolts, but it doesn't specify which ones. The 47-51 Shop Manual says use the third bolt from the rear on the left side and the 4th from the rear on the right side of the head (but the picture attached shows the right side farther forward than that - like between cylinders 2 and 3). You may have to experiment with lifting points without the transmission hanging on the rear. Maybe move forward one bolt hole on each side.
I`ll get some lifting eye bolts. A bar to hook chains up to and a center lift I can borrow. Picker I have. Are saying I cannot use the valve cover 3/8 bolt hole w/ the eye bolts to lift it out with?
