Has anyone pulled a 350 with 4-speed out of a 4x4 truck with the transfercase and all as an assembly? Where is a good balance point??
I was thinking at the rearmost intakemanifold bolts??
Any input????

I hope you have the front clip off or you will have a very difficult time getting the whole setup out at once. It takes a little wrestling to get the whole setup off even with the front clip removed. Here is a pic showing how my 307/3 speed/Rockwell transfer case came out of mine. Not really a good balance point given the lenght of the whole setup.

direct bolt to the intake with a carb hole jack plate. Lift it up in the rear-most hole of the jack plate, and remove the hood. It'll be a little tail heavy, of course, but it's nice to have the assurance of a solid piece of metal rather than a creaky sloppy chain.

I think jerked one out of a C-20 without removing the front clip, but I had to remove the hood.

The total length with the transfer case is what makes it diffucult - I didn't measure but here is a pic of the whole GREASY mess once out. Transfer case is alot of weight too.

Yes, it's ugly, yes, it's rusty, it's slow too, but no, I'm not trying to show it.
