nice write up craby. i just did this last month i think it was last month
not bein used to chevys so much i was worried about the gap of the flywheel/flex plate and conveter, fords dont have that much play. so i got worried i had the wrong converter for a second then did a google search a figured it out.

 

thats sweet yo, i think i might do that, but yet again its sooo much woork!

 

alls i gotta say is watch out lifting a transmission by the pan

 

only time ive ever had issues with that is when i tried lifting the back of the motor using the trans pan. that was many yrs ago, learned to put a piece of plywood between the pan and jack for doing that.

 

yes, i agree.. helps spread out da load
sometimes ill even use wood on the jack just to 'soften the blow'

 

nice thread, this will help me when its time for me to change mine
