Fluid drive bell housing and engine separation????

[RoccoB]

How do I separate the engine from the fluid drive bellhousing

[RoccoB]

Can this be separated inside the car the car is a 48 desoto custom coupe

Why separate them?  Clutch work?  Engine removal?

I’m having the engine rebuilt it has 300thousand miles and has a noise as well as I drained the pan and it was a slurry of oil and coolant

I have bought a few shop manuals I would rather take my time with this project rather than try to force something out I don’t have any clue about

The trans has to come out first from under the car. The bell housing supports the rear of the engine so removing it while in the car would be pretty hard. If you’re having the engine rebuilt you might as well pull everything. Once it’s out removing the bell housing will be much easier.

I will go off of that Doug&deb I am working on it slowly but it will get there thank you
