Hey all,

I pulled my SM420 tranny and 305 this weekend. No problems whatsoever. I left the bell housing attached to the engine while pulling it. I am getting the new engine ready to install and need to pull the bell housing and flywheel off the old one and swap onto the new one. I also plan to install a new clutch assembly. There are 4 bolts holding the bell housing to the block, 2 on the outside and 2 on the bottom inside underneath the flywheel. Do I have to remove the clutch and flywheel prior to removing the bell housing? It doesn't seem there is enough clearance from the flywheel to remove the inside 2 bolts on the bell housing? I searched through my GMC maintenance manual but couldn't find this procedure.

Thanks much,
Ken
