Pulling the 250 i6 and 4-speed with granny low gear from 1964 c10

Personally, I'd drop the trans (4 bolts from the trans to the bellhousing), then I'd pull the motor and bellhousing. You'll have it pretty easy since you removed the hood. I've always left the hood on. I've pulled and replaced a 230, 5.3, and a 350. I usually leave the bellhousing bolted to the crossmember and just unbolt the trans then the motor from the bell, but I've seen a lot of people take it all out in one piece.

You cant remove the trans without removing the center high hump floor pan. the trans top sticks up thru a hole in the floor. there isn't enough room to slide the trans back far enough for the inpuit shaft to clear the bellhousing. Now you could support the trans on a transmission jack. then remove the engine and bell as a unit then drop the trans straight down.
