I went to pull my trans today and I've got everything done. But when i went to drop the trans it wouldn't come off because the bell housing hit the body and wont slide far enough back to come fully off the shaft...Any body else have this issue with a 460 in their bronco?

Put a jack under the front of the harmonic balancer to tilt the motor back?? I have had to do this in the past with other set ups. Good Luck.

Dang I didn't have that problem at all (460/c6 78 bronco). Are you positive it is stuck on the body??? I had the cover off in the floorpan and had to give it some love taps from the top to help knock it free, just because it was so well mated up. That could have easily been confused with it being stuck somewhere. There is also a ton of stuff I had to unbolt and move out of the way. Check these pics in case you missed something:

That was my guess as soon as I saw the thread...messy messy if you don't take the converter with the tranny..even if it will come out that way.:doh0715:
