After a 3 year delay, the 400 is coming out for a rebuild this winter. Last two times I pulled it, I needed the transmission as well, so I just did an all in one grab and go. I'd prefer to leave the tranny in this time. Looking at the process, here's what I am thinking: 1. Hood off - Drain oil/water 2. Header disconnect from muffler 3. Drive shaft off 4. Remove bolts holding tranny in place on cross member 5. remove radiator/alternator/fan shroud/fan 6. Remove bolts from motor mounts 7. slide engine/tranny forward so I can get to bell housing bolts- remove bolts, slide tranny back 8. lift engine, remove headers. 9. Out we go.
Any thoughts on my steps here? I omitted obvious things like pulling air cleaner, ground straps, carb etc.
As always, thanks to all who take the time to respond! Drew
