1. How is the front of the transmission supported in a '36 Tudor Sedan? Is there somehing other than the bolts to the bellhousing? If I pull the engine, do I need to support the transmission with a jack stand?
2. Once I get the engine seperated from the trasmission and front motor mounts will it come out by lifting slightly and pulling forward? The fenders are still on the car but the radiator/grill have been removed.

If you plan on leaving the transmission in the car then by all means support the front of it!
Once the engine is free of the transmission it will come out rather easily. A little forward to disengage the input shaft of the trans and up and out

In addition to the bell housing bolts, you have to remove the nuts from the two front motor mounts, as well. The mount bolts will then fall down and out. I assume you have also removed the hood. A jack instead of a stand under the transmission will make reinstallation easier, as you can then raise or lower it to match up with the bell housing. We use a special chain fastened to head studs on each side to lift the engine. Be sure that the load is balanced as you pull the engine out, or it will bobble around when it is freed of the transmission.

To me,Its a lot easier if you pull the engine with the trans, and reinstall the same way,aligning the clutch to the transmission can get to be a problem.
also this way you can clean the trans and check the gears, if you have wear NOW'S THE TIME.,
and if you are installing a 59AB ENGINE,use a 39 trans,
I think they shift better , then the older transmssions,
hope this helps 37RAGTOPMAN an KEEP on FORDIN,,,!!!
