Is it possible to remove the bell housng with the engine still in the truck? It's a 51 3800.

The rear engine mounts are on the bell housing, so likely not easily. If you supported the engine, removed the tranny, etc. I suppose it could be done. But the short answer is No.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

Only reason I could see would be to replace that rear block core plug. Yes, support the engine, remove transmission, clutch, flywheel & there you go!
