Re: Newbie, Buying my first. 72 GMC K20

If your gonna pull the motor in a k series and leave the transfer in do yourself a favor and lift the motor enough to get the engine crossmember out.

When i installed my 400 sbc in my k20 i decided to leave the 465 in. I had a grand old time trying to get the engine off the input shaft with the c- member in place. and when it was going back in getting the bell seated on the trans no matter how I tilted the trans.
With the c- member out the motor slipped in and out easily.


Good luck and looking forward too seeing your progress.
