They can usually be pried out with a screwdriver and knocked back in. Most can be got to with the motor in place somehow. The 2 in the back of the block require either the motor or trans. to be pulled. For me, pulling the motor requires less effort. Less wiring and Plumbing.
its bolted to the motor
Pull the motor or pull the transmission, one of them has to come out.
how do you replace the freeze plugs between the transmision and motor on a 1997 f150 5.4
Near where the motor and transmission connect
Does your Firebird have a Chevy or Pontiac motor in it?If it is a Pontiac motor, you will need an adapter from Summit or Jeg's.Also, it could be a different output shaft length and spline count.
USE TEH INTERNET! =D <3
sure, you might just have to change the motor mounts if your going from a 6 cyl. to a V8 and of course you will have to change the computer and wiring to the engine.
Yes there are 2
NO THEY ARE NOT.
Yes
It is your choice. You can either remove the transmission and leave the engine alone. or pull the engine and leave the transmission alone. If your SMART you will replace all the freeze plugs in the engine.
Freeze plug at the rear of the motor. Between the transmission and the motor.
