I was able to use a leveler pulling this 250 out of a '64 Chevy. It did help since I didn't want to take off the front clip. It didn't look like at the angle I needed that the tranny would clear the bellhousing crossmember so 4 tranny bolts, the driveshaft and linkage to drop the tranny was easier than taking out the crossmember. The seat and tranny hump had to come out anyway so dropping the tranny was easy. Used an exhaust-intake bolt hole to put a lifting iron on the drivers side rear and the battery ground on the pass side front.
