we have the cherry picker in place, it appears that everything is disconnected, but the engine is binding on something and will not come fwd enough to tip and finish. It appears to be hitting the front dif with the oil pan, and binding on the fire wall. The auto trans is still attached to the engine, the t'fer case has been removed.

Any suggestions or help will be appreciated.

ARE ALL THE BELL HOUSING BOLTS REMOVED AND THEN THE LOWER DUST SHIELDS ON THE FRT OF THE TRANS BELLHOUSING , THERE ARE THREE PIECES , THESE MUST BE REMOVED AND THEN 6 TORQUE CONVERTOR BOLTS REMOVED AND THE ENG WILL SLIDE FORWARD ENOUGH TO LIFT STRAIGHT UP AND OUT , AND LEAVE THE CONVERTOR IN PLACE REMOVE THE STARTER TO MAKE GETTING AT THE CONVERTOR BOLTS MUCH EASIER , JERRY
