LOL! I think your onto something... This cars been fighting me tooth and nail, I Go to pull the motor (seized, with no heads or oil pan for the past 30 years) and naturally since I can't rotate the crank, I can't get all the torque converter bolts... So I pull the bell housing and torque converter with the block, no big deal right? Ha! Wrong! I go to take the bell housing off with all the bolts off and it's solid on the block... So I start looking deep inside the bellhousing and that's when I see a bolt going from the transmission side into the motor... And to make it even better the bolt is about 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 inches long and with only 1/2" of room before the head of the bolt makes contact with the torque converter which I still can't take off because the motor is solid! And there's some other things that aren't going smooth either... I think I'll call this car Christina!
