Transmission not separating from engine?
Yesterday I was in the process of pulling the engine and the transmission is stuck to it. Engine is a 350 transmission is 3 speed on the tree converted to floor shift. I was first trying to separate the engine withe the bell housing attached. Removed all bolts connecting transmission to bell housing. I believe it was 4 bolts. It separated about an inch or two but would not release it was still attached no matter what I did so I said hey to why not just remove the bell housing and pull the engine by itself. I unbolted the bell housing and it separated from the engine about in inch or two also but wouldn't come apart from the engine either. So now I have an inch or two between the bell housing and engine and also about an inch or two separating the housing from the transmission. I can't figure out why it's not coming apart. I'm thinking about just removing the radiator support and pulling everything out together. Any idea guys I did remove the starters boats and the dates between the bell having an engine. And Nelson in sheet around the starter. I'm pulling my hair out why won't this come apart im fairly new to manual transmissions. Would I have to take off the fenders to remove the radiator support ?
