it's in the Chilton's manual for this truck.
Generally there is six bolts holding the transmission bellhousing to the engine block. There are several more holding the torque converter to the flex plate and the rear transmission mount to the crossmember.
Because the transmission does not drop free of the crossmember, pulling the engine is generally the best. Placing a 3/4" thick piece of wood under the bellhousing for support before removing the engine, will hold it in position for refitting.
raise the car, drain the transmission fluid, remove any exhaust components that will get in the way of the transmission, remove the starter, remove the drive shaft, remove transmission crossmember, use an engine hoist or a jack to support the engine, remove slave cylinder from bellhousing, remove transmission and bellhousing, unbolt pressure plate, inspect all components replace bad parts, reassemble. DON'T FORGET TO REFILL TRANSMISSION
No, the engine is not the transmission bellhousing. The bellhousing is a separate piece all together.
The bellhousing is the part of the transmission that goes over the flywheel on the rear of the engine.
It should be the same, you're biggest problem will be kepping all the smog equipment ford is well known for their bellhousing. you may have to change the bellhouse from the trans. to the engine. you wont have to change the tranny, but you may have to change the bellhousing to match the 302 bolt pattern
