I am in the process of prepping to pull the Engine and Transmission ( Fordo) from my 56 Fairlane. I want to fix the Leaks in both and repaint the Engine.My preference is to pull both together. I have a good Cherry Picker and One of those Levellers that apparently make the Job much easier. Last Time I did this was about 10 Years ago. I ended up splitting the combo to pull it but re-installed together. I have  much better Equipment this Time with the addition of the Leveller ( I bought a good one not One of the Offshore Impostors). Opinions or Suggestions, Tips etc? The Car has Power Steering which is giving Me some Concern as far as not damaging the Assist Cylinder.Input appreciated. One pleasant Discovery while draining the Convertor was that the Flex Plate has been replaced with the new style One Piece Unit.
This Car was restored 35 Years ago so Someone has been into it since then replacing the Flex Plate. Too bad they didn't fix the Rear Main Seal leak properly or the front Pump Seal while the Transmission was out. I am getting Puddles of Oil and Transmission Fluid.
