if you are parting it out , do you have a really good exhaust manifold?
Don, you need not remove the finals, as that will not get you very far into the steering. What you need to do is remove the entire transmission top, and then the attach points for the brake bands, the bearing caps for the cross shaft. Then remove the bolts holding the brake drum to the flange, you will have to turn the input shaft to rotate the drums 360 deg. Then lift the cross shaft & clutches right out after taking care not to bust your back(its heavy)
