now you can push the torque converter back into the transmission to make sure it doesn't catch on anything and get drug out of the transmission when you pull the engine. It should go in a little less than 1/4"

A cheater on a flexplate bolt, someone tightened it too much. At least you got it loosened up and ready to pull.

I’m either going to have to do this myself with is old engine and or do you think I could pay under $3500 to get someone to plumb back together and install a rebuilt 350sbc ?
