[FWDLK] Rear Cross Member- R&R . . .

["Bob Moore <mustang@xxxxxxxx>" <mustang@xxxxxxxx>]

In deep . . . . !

I mentioned I am changing out my 350 B bloack and
installing a 325" Hemi (that runs-) into my '58 Sierra Wagon.

Unfortunately, it's been so long
since my HS days when I was working on my '57 Fury, I thought maybe I
could leave the transmission in the car and pull the engine with the
bellhousing and converter left on, just like the engine is sitting
that I've got ready to put in.

Only problem is, the pan of the engine will hit the front cross-member
before you candisengage the converter from the tranny splines, huh?!?

It looks like the
only other way is to pull the engine and trans together, IF you could get
that big old parking brake over the rear cross member, or- you need to
drop the rear cross member.  To drop the rear cross member, do I need to
relax the torsion bars??

Thx, Working late, (and all day Monday-)

-Bob
