<p>Another option if you wind up pulling the engine and want to leave the torque converter:</p>
<p>If you separate the engine from the trans an inch or so, you can get a 9/16 wrench between the block and flex plate.</p>
<p>You have to back all the bolts out a couple turns at a time because if you try and back just one all the way out, you won't have enough room and your wrench will be stuck.</p>

<p>That's what you'd expect to find after a 327 from an old 3/4 or one ton Chevy, back in the day.</p>
<p>Great tranny but exhausting to drive. :-0""</p>
<p></p>
<p>The W85 was behind the 327 on 3/4 ton Chevy's? Quite the expert you are sir since the W85 is a Toyota transmission. The Chevy, and Ford and Dodge for that matter used the 420, 465 and 435 in that order of age going up. </p>
<p>It has been a couple years since I have been here but now I see you are the resident expert here so I will move on and leave you alone to say as you wish. </p>

<p>Good luck Phil, by the way, neither antifreeze nor kerosene will rust metal.</p>

<p>Since the heads are off can you chip or cut the piston out in pieces from above?</p>
<p>Edit: also you could try using two big screwdrivers one on either side of the flex plate and pry against the teeth. Maybe you could rock the engine loose by prying back and forth.</p>

<p>The gap in that "New" ring is about the diameter of that pencil, yathink?</p>

<p>manifolds are out.. that is a REALLY good thought thank you..</p>
<p></p>
<p> hope not on #4</p>
<p> the #4 does move or at least whats left of it does but the rod is in such a position against the wall by the cranp i need to rotate the crank clockwise about 5 degrees.. which is impossable at this point even with 4 ft and 3/4 drive and aftermarket balancer nut.. when weather warms will remove all available piston caps and try again.. </p>
