66 coupe, 289 engine and c-4 transmission. i need to remove the engine and transmission later this week and i would like to remove them both as a unit. what all do i need to disconnect at the transmission end so that it'll slide on out? obviously i know i need to disconnect the driveshaft, transmission mounts, shifter and any wiring i see around. anything else? thanks.

 

Unhook the lines at the trans end, pull the radiator to prevent damage and dont forget to use an output shaft plug to keep the tranny fluid from coating your work area.

 

thanks coupe. i forgot about the fluid. guess i'll drain it first.

 

You may want to still get a plug, that tq converter holds about 60 gallons.

 

highly doubt 60 gallons lol, i used an ice cream bucket (preferably empty)
and a 5 gallon bucket 1/2 full.


also you might need to remove starter.

 

When it spills all over the floor it "looks" like 60 gallons. :-)

 

sure does lol.

 

Is an output shaft plug something I can purchase? Or what do you use?

 

Im pretty sure a 1" of 1-1/4" pvc cap works. you can get them both at home depot for about $1 each.

 

Sounds good to me!! Thanks!
