Removal of engine sans g'box 53 Clipper

Posted by Peter Packard On 2018/8/10 4:14:02

Hello all, Just in the process of pulling the motor from my 53 Clipper 2662. Have noticed how hard it is to access top bolts of ultramatic with rear ultramatic mount in place. Have previously pulled trans, not engines from others with no problems. Any thoughts. I have thoughts similar to removing gearbox from Volkswagen where mechanics punch holes in rear panels to access gearbox bolts. It appears almost impossible to remove engine without gearbox removal. Any sage advice from Ross etc would be appreciated. How do other people do this? Kind regards, Peter Toet. P.S. I shall remove this tomorrow one way or another.
