I have read several forums on pulling the LT1 motor on my 93 vett. but still don't understand something. Several say to pull the tranny first (zf6spd) because the tranny and motor don't separate easily at the bell housing. If that is true then how is it easier to pull the tranny with the motor still in the car? It looks to me like unbolting the bell housing from the tranny, and pulling the motor and the bell housing together with the tranny in the car supported by a jack would work, am I missing something here?
If I am right, how far does the motor have to come forward to separate from the tranny before it can be lifted out of the engine bay?
