How big of a job is it to pull the motor from 1940 ford deluxe With a flathead v8. I have started but I'm not sure what to unbolt at the transmission end inot the drive shaft. I have never pulled a motor before

Steve, I remove the hood for clearance and the front seat to prevent grease stains as well as give more room to work on the engine. Disconnect the battery Remove the floor mat and the floor boards Remove the fan Remove the radiator hoses and the radiator Remove the chatter bars from the engine to the frame Disconnect the exhaust pipes Disconnect wires from the coil and generator Remove the generator Remove the motor mount bolts Connect the engine hoist chain to exhaust manifold bolts at the front and back of the engine on both sides. Remove the bolts from the bell housing Support the transmission with a jack Raise the engine with the hoist and adjust the jack under the transmission Pull the engine forward and then remove it. If I have left out any steps, you will find out when you start the job or someone will be kind enough to add them. Good Luck. Tom

Before removing the hood be sure to use a grease pencil or other device to mark the locations of the bolts on the hood. This will make it easier to line up the hood when you put it back on the car.

Remove the bolts from the transmission mount or at the very least, loosen them up quite a bit. If not, you'll run a high risk of breaking the mount "ears". Mike "Kube" Kubarth

Thanks tom, alot of good information I hand no idea about the floor boards. Should I drain the transmission? So it's best to leave the trans in. I am having the motor rebuit.

You can get at the bellhousing 9/16 bolts with a swivel and long extension cause I hate fooling with floor mats. After front motor mounts are removed : now you jack or block the transmission Then comes the misrable exhaust pipes. I just find it easier to unblolt exhaust manifolds and just leave it there pipes & all> Things I hate > draining antifreeze taking the hood off, taking lower misrable hoses off . other than that 20 minutes then its on the floor... Anti freeze happens every time, to slide the drain pan then I step in it 5 gal all over me and floor. (smile) Other than that, all clutch linkage shift rods stay . Then when lifting engine out expect to wear 1/2 of coolant from the water pumps all over good Idea is to use rubber caps on the pumps hardware store... to clairify forgot to say "blocking the trans" I meant to say that you already have a chain fall holding engine UP remove front mounts now jack or bleck trans. right there. Then I would buy one of those leveling things for the chain fall thats slick.. This message was edited by GK1918 on 2-1-18 @ 4:17 AM

How do you remove the chatter bars on flathead V8. I removed the nuts but how do they come off the frame? No bolt thru the frame.
