1977 quick trans question
hello all,
just gotta quick little question, Ive got a 1977 f150, 400ci backed by a c6 and im not sure what t-case. I need to replace the flywheel, my question is, do i have to completely remove the c6 and t-case to get access to the flywheel, or is it possible to slide the c6 t-case and crossmember back towards the rear far enough to get in there, i know that is how i did it on my bronco II but this is a different beast that i dont know much about. thanks in advance

I think the Flex plate bolts to the crank with 5 bolts and then uses 4 bolts to bolt to the torque converter.You would just need to have enough space to get to the crank bolts like 3-4 inches, so if you can slide the cross member back enough and support the rear of the Engine it could be done.

so is it easier to just go ahead and drop the trans and t-case than trying to work around it? i know it was easier to work around it on my BII but i havent had this truck long and havent put much wrench time into it

I did that job once on another truck, removed drive shafts, slid Xmember back and trans / TC back, but before sliding back I replaced a couple bolts in the trans-block withg some real long bolts to help guide it all back. Make sure TC stays in trans.
