Disassembly continues...

​Ok, so, i made a mistake many years ago, that im correcting today.
​Way back in '05, when i was still in the process of doing the oneton swap, i made a custom transmission crossmember.  I made is a single piece, super high clearance.  It worked well, but it was a pain to install/remove.  The last time i installed it, was before i had the exhaust system built for the 460.  Well, turns out there wasnt enough room to remove it, so i had to cut it in half to get it out:

I figured now is the time to make it two-piece, before i remove the exhaust system entirely.  So i cut up some 4" flat pate into squares, and made some flanges to bolt the two halves back together:

​Now that ive verified that it still fits in the truck, i can remove the exhaust:

​From there i pulled the radiator & electric fan, and then started stripping the accessory drive:

​Pulled the intake to make it easier to get the motor out.  The distributor is frozen and wont come out

​Fast forward 5 days.
The headers were installed with stainless ARP bolts.  These are the only ones i got out.

​That's it.  The rest seem to have welded them to the heads.  Its a bit of an issue.  At this point i may have to pull the heads with the headers still installed.
