I was hoping to get my longblock in my car pulled out today so I could trade with a friend, but ran into a problem. I cannot get the longblock to "seperate" from the tranny. I removed all the bolts that are holding on to it. The front half of the longblock to tranny is "seperating" but the rear half is not budging or cracking away from eachother. Tried to pry it off and many other things, but still a no go. Anyone have any suggestions?

 

i had this same problem check there is one bole on the backside of motor its located right above where the driver side axle will hook in. took me forever to find it and once i undid it the tranny pulled right off. i had the exact problem lol

 

also make sure the torque converter and flywheel plate are off..

 

dumb question but is the T-bracket out of the way for the rear motor mount?

 

If you removed all the bolts it would have seperated. There are a couple of easy to miss bolts on the back side of the engine and tranny. Also one of the starter bolts has to be removed, it goes through the bell housing and threads into the block.

 

^ I didn't remove one bolt from starter. I guess that might be the problem. I Removed the T bracket as well.
