Pulled Motor and Trans Today!!!!
I'm just so happy I had to tell everyone. Let me try to make this tech though. Umm....for everyone who wants to know if you take off your nose piece and remove the radiator and accessories, you can pull the engine and trans together.
Ok that's all.

Hmmm, I pulled engine and tranny together without removing any front accessories. Just took out the radiator. I kept my nose on & in-joint.

Paul, should add that I used a tilt sling. Couldn't have done it without it.
Also, congrats on your first pull. The "1st time" is special. Good luck with the 383.

Hey Paul, I am not sure about the "pulling of the nose on your car" but way to go on your progress man! I guess it is coming along now. Looking forward to updates.
C-ya man!

The only reason I pulled all those parts is because I'm taking everything out of the engine compartment so it can be painted and it made it a lot easier to work in there. I'm also having my radiator support replaced. I still have a long way to go, but I'm taking steps forward now instead of backward. Next step is to clean up the bottom of the car and paint it with POR-15.
