    Hi Guys,

    Taking out the '68 V6 for rebuild. What is your opinion of where to disconnect the trans from engine. At block or at Bell Housing? :?

    Just kidding, I took mine apart at the block, it came out very easy that way other then the motor mounts were tight do to my frame being twisted slightly.;)

    I say pull the trans from the bellhousing, but I have a full cage and a removable floor that makes it real easy., start alot of new projects while you have it apart. By the way,I found out the old dauntless motors make great boat anchors. JUST KIDDING YA'LL( cant wait to see how many bad responses I get to this one) HA HA
