The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop Removing engine 54 i/2 ton

Been reading the search area for this still not clear to me if I can remove the engine and gearbox together, without removing the rad support. The fenders are fiber glassed to the cab so clip removal is out of the question

Thanks Len

I would say trans must then be removed first, remove floorboards to access trans, hopefully the floorboards aren't also 'glassed.

Look at the good side, you get to see what the condition of your clutch parts, throwout bearing and pilot bearing is as well as the trans linkage grommets if you take it out separate. I have never removed the engine WITH the trans and I have taken many engines out. I got in the habit because in the salvage yard when pulling them, it was much easier to just jack one side off the ground and drop the trans first than removing rad support, etc, etc. With the trans gone, you don't have to remove anything but maybe the hood. Takes longer though.
