Torque converter bolts
I am in the process of swapping the 4.6 in my 97 scab. Can anyone give me some tips on taking the torque converter bolts off. I know that they are 14mm but are a pita to get too.
Any other tips would be greatly appreciated. I have swapped my motors in older chevelles and camaro's but nothing like this.
thanks for any info

I always lift the cab off to do swaps on these trucks.
It's much faster.
As for the torque converter bolts, turn the motor with a socket on the crank shaft or a pry bar on the ring gear to get the bolts down into the area where the inspection plate was removed.

I really do not want to lift cab off. Finally got the torque converter bolts off now jus trying to get everything unhooked and unbolted.
