I think my 727 is fried. Now I'm at a crossroads...

What is the best way to get the transmission out? The last time I did it, I pulled the engine up through the engine bay. It wasn’t too bad, but I’ve heard raising the car off the K member is much easier.

If I can drop only the transmission, I think that would be preferred, but I’ve never done a big block before. I remember the small block had some tough-to-get-to bolts on the bellhousing. Thoughts?

I supported my 340 with a floor jack and put a block of wood between the firewall and back of the engine block. Jack under trans pan w block of wood, loosen cooling lines, linkage and what not, the pulled the mounting bolts and eased it down. I've since picked up a HF trans jack which made subsequent trans removal/installs much easier.
