I've had an antifreeze leak on the back of my 216 that I would like to fix. It's on my 46 1/2t. I'm thinking I've got a clutch kit, a tt ball gasket set so I thought I would fix it all at once. But as I started looking at it, I've got to pull the starter and the flywheel to get the bell housing off. But more alarming is if I wanted to pull the bell housing there is nothing to support the engine. So I have to disconnect the rear engine mounts and pull the engine. Am I looking at this correct? To replace the freeze plug ( expansion plug ) on the rear of the 216 I have to pull the motor in the process?

Help thanks
Rick..

If you pull the toe and floor board you should be able to pull the bell housing without removing the engine. Just block the engine under the pan.

The old timers used to cut a hole in the firewall to replace it.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

It should be much easier on a 46 as the toe and floor boards are removable.
