I think two or more of the bolts holding it on come from the back side from inside the block, this according to the picture in the TM. I have never taken one off but that's what it looks like.
That seems crazy.
I can't get inside the block without it on a stand and i can't put it on a stand without taking off the bell housing!?!
There are two bolts that aren't accessible without removing the flywheel first.
You must separate the transmission from the bell housing to remove the engine from vehicle.
If you are mounting engine to an engine stand you bolt it to the transmission mounting holes of the bell housing.

I'm going n this boat exactly now, THANKS!!Quote:

I'll be... Bob is still around. His junk still works! :D Since the problem has reached the needed solution I guess all I could add is a hi to Bob and once again Jeepdans pictures are just fantastic to look at. I appreciate the obvious detail...:)
