But the owners of this car chose not to go through all of that.
This was the first time I had removed a transmission on a 35-36 when keeping the engine completely bolted in place. For some reason, in the past, I always chose to pull the engine first, then the transmission. Or, I would pull the trans and engine together as a unit. This goes all the way back to my high school days when I owned my first 35 ford.
Thanks John and Col.

Thanks for the info; I was totally ignorant of the difficulties faced by 1935 and 1936 Ford owners when it comes to this aspect of trans removal. I mistakenly thought that the process was similar to the process for 1937-38-39 trans removal. Good to know. I wish the OP luck.
