Alright guys,

I finally started my ls1 swap into my truck. Ive taken everything off thats needed and i cant pull the fu*king! engine from the tranmission. I HAVE gotten all 8 bolts on the bell housing the 3 flywheel bolts and also the engine mounts. I also jacked up the tranmission so it wouldnt fall when i took it out. Everytime i try to pull the engine the tranmission just moves forward or side to side. Ive screwed up my rubber tranny mount in the back from moving it so much....

Could someone please shed some light on this! Ive worked on it for about 2 hours now. Thanks alot

 

thoght there was 9 bolts?? check everything one more time..

Bet you missed the top bolt...at the 12 o'clock position.

 

Sounds like there are still bolts somewhere...are sure you took of the dust shield...bell housing bolts...and converter bolts? trans lines not causing and issue?

there's prob a bolt hiding on the side. some have 8 and some have 9

 

I just pulled mine but i dont remember off hand how many bolts there was. But i do know that i had to pull like hell to get them to seperate. Just run your hand around the bellhousing. IF you dont feel a bolt then its just stuck. Remember that the TQ converter is inside the crank. They do tend to get stuck together at that point. The dowel pins on the engine will do it also.

 

yea.... first time i pulled mine it was stuck pretty good... Screw driver or pry bar helped.

 

Ok i juct checked to see if i got all the bolts and i did. There where 8. Yes i removed the flywheel to torque coverter bolts there are 3. How can i sperate the engine from the tranny with a pry bar? i mean where could i shove it in and not hurt anything? Thanks

 

there should be 9 bolts theres one on the very top almost behind the intake 2 of them should also have a nut one for a hose and one for the dipstick
