| | | | Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 217 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 217 | 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

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