Well it should just fall right out everything is removed that I can see I can pull it like 2-3 inches away from the engine, chevy 454, trany not sure of yet. Have a jack on the rear end of the engine so it wont tilt. One problem might be is the cross beam suport for the trany how do I remove that? I have taken the screws out it slides frontwards and backwards on the frames what else am I missing it is that close but just cant get it.
