Turning it over with an 18in. 1/2in.drive breaker bar worked on mine.
The engine I have has a big 6 speed (I think) now removed.I think the tranny weighs around 250 to 300lbs itself. I am wondering if I can mate a Hydramatic to the rear of the engine(just curious)
Other thoughts were to see how difficult it would be to mount it in a 49 GMC 3/4 ton and drive it to Andy`s next August grin

There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.
