***Whatever you do, don't try hammering this out, it will break the lugs

off. there was special C-wrench with a lug that fits in the

corresponding lugs in the flange, but in my experience if it won't

unscrew the only way is to heat the manifold several times to a dull

red, let cool, and eventually it will unscrew. The best way id just

cut the exhaust pipe off below the flange and then re-weld the pipe back

on when you install the motor. if you can bring yourself to go

non-standard, weld a bolt type flange on to your manifold, then you

have no future problems. A cast-iron-nickle arc welding electrode is

available for welding steel to iron, and I have successfully done many

of these

***To remove the '26 multi-plate clutch and transmission you have to

unbolt all the clutch cover bolts and bell housing bolts and take

off. You can then fit the '26 flywheel to the original motor and bolt

it all up, (or just bolt it on if the flywheel is already on the new

motor.)

***No, but if you flush it out and fill with new A.T.F. you should

eliminate thes problem. Also, when you turn the engine off each time,

push the clutch pedal in before you turn the engine off, and then let it

out when the engine stops, and this will let a little oil in between the

surfaces to help it not to stick next time.
