When I dismantled my 67 I pulled the 327 and muncie out as on piece. Since the restoration, I have installed the engine with the bellhousing and clutch in the car, mainly to save space in the garage while the trans was being rebuilt. The question I have is: do you bolt the trans up first then install the crossmember or crossmember first then trans? I remember that I could not get the crossmember out after I removed the engine and trans until I removed the front clip...I’m sure the bushings were compacted. Now the front clip is on with new body mounts, hopefully I can get it back in without separating the subframe from the body. I would be concerned about the fenders hitting the doors and scratching the paint.

Any details on this process would be greatly appreciated.

You can do it any way that you want ! If the body bushings are new, you shouldn't have to touch the subframe bolts.

That is great. Thanks!
