340 and A833 install questions

i primarily work by myself and the way that i've always done it with 67+ cars is to drop in the motor with the flywheel/clutch and bell, then pop the trans in from underneath with a jack or blocks of wood. on 64~66 cars there are times when i've had to drop in just the motor and attach the flywheel, clutch, bell after the fact.

each situation is unique to the job. sometimes i'll do a small block with an automatic together from the top. but for me, on what i assume is a 70~72 dart with headers, the tact i would take is what most others have outlined. there's enough room there to get the bell and trans together or just do one and then the other. yes it's tight, yes it's fiddly, yes it's uncomfortable-- but it's doable.

oh, and don't forget to remove the distributor, or at least the cap. one less thing to infuriate you when it bonks the firewall and cracks or totally scratches the paint.
