That's what I was talking about...

You're building knowledge base and some nice tools.

Yessir, thanks for all the help! Taking motor mount nuts off now and then all that's left is the bell housing bolts which after the torque converter fiasco, should be a walk in the park.

Still kicking myself for trying to get a 13mm socket on those for over an hour of climbing back and forth under the truck to turn the crank. It will never happen again. I'm a little lame this morning, stupid hurts

Dont kick yourself too hard...
It will happen again!
Ask how i know....

Top 4 bell housing bolts out, I think we're home free! Now I have to go rent a storage unit to put my motorcycles in so I can have room to put the engine hoist together and room to wheel it in my little shop.

I may take Tuesday off (a nice sunny day) to pull the engine if I don't get it out this afternoon but I want to get it out ASAP so I can flip it over at least and get the coolant out of the cylinders before that corrodes. If I had thought I'd have drained the coolant and ran the truck for a minute to clean the cylinders out before I started all of this but I didn't. Hopefully it won't cause an issue....
