Thanks for any answers. | | |

I'm with Brian here, using a load leveler on the engine hoist should give you enough room. If not, put the truck on blocks to do it with the load leveler. Make sure your fluids are drained prior to attempting. Don | | |

Might just make it,Been a long time But.........
Remember there is just so much room between the firewall/tranny hump AND the fixed position crossmember that was the Original rear mount location for the standard shift trans.
Seem to remember you could sneek a 3speed and engine in there but a 4speed hung to low in the "belly" to leave it on for removal or installation as a pair.
The pan on a powerglide might make it over that c member but I,m leaning on NO,sorry to say.
Its gotta go in AFTER the engine is in,OR before,and stab the motor on it.
Good Luck and Regards | | |
