Good morning.

Yes, what you need to do is to support the rear of the engine, remove the driveshafts, drop the cross member, disconnect the torque converter bolts and remove four of the six bell housing bolts. then get two 4 inch bolts for the bottom two bell housing bolts and install the long bolts in those holes. then you can slide back the transmission enough to access the flywheel.

Make sure you support the transmission as well.
