1967 Mustang Convertible w/ a 289. Doing a father/son restore of my first car. Thanks to some of the tips on here, I've got the engine pulled out and on an engine stand awaiting an Edelbrock top end kit. I have the C4 currently sitting on a jack under the pan (piece of wood, yes), but that makes the car immobile. I'd like to be able to roll it out of the garage a bit so I can powerwash the engine bay and otherwise climb around in/on it without worrying about dropping the tranny.

So, what's the best way to support that transmission so I can move the car around? I would really rather not take it out too if I don't have to. I figure there has to be away to rig something (or maybe someone sells something for this purpose) to hold the bellhousing up in the same fashion as the engine did.

 

Cut a broom handle to fit across the "frame rails" use the bottom 2 bolts to "hold" it on the broom handle. Leave the rear mount attached loosely with bolts.

 

The broom handle will hold in the torque converter too.
