its out!!!! $18 three jaw puller from Amazon did the job

3 jaw puller is on its way, knowing my luck if i tried grease and a rod, I'd end up blasting grease everywhere, way this project is going. its been 2 steps forward, 1 step back.

funny.... couple years back i happened to see a Dodge v12 at the u pull it wrecking yard, told dad about it, who insisted on me showing him. he spent about an hour looking at it, and trying to figure a way if it would fit in the engine bay. he finally reasoned it wouldn't, as a BB V/8 barely...

nice powerwagon,!!!!

thank you, i wish he was able to hear it run before he passed

well, i don't exactly have a b body, but this is the only Dodge forum i was able to get help from. my dad has had a 1947 Dodge 1 ton flatbed from when i was in diapers, which he was doing a 3rd frame off restoration and restomod. unfortunately he passed suddenly and left it to me to finish...

440. saw a tool similar to that, 3 jaw screw type im ordering. now i know it should come out

different block. original block was manual. going to auto

no, bolted on the flex plate but thee was a 1/2 gap between the plate and converter, as the converter couldnt seat in the center of the crank due to the hockey puck

talking the big flange/hockey puck the bronze bushing is sitting in.

tried a dry fit, the converter flange will fit, but the short nos[e on converter itself wont fit while the large flange is in the crankshaft.

thank you all for the info, relieved i don't have to have it machined. ill try a puller first as the grease method sounds a lil messy, it has to go somewhere and my luck my punch dill just be small enough for a grease shower

so thats a reducing type of sleeve the brass is inserted into, good to know

ok, dad passed and i inherited his project. going from manual tranny to auto. pulled tranny, and find rear of crank is different than donor motor/tranny. rebuilt motor is the red block with the brass bushing. i need the center like on the other crank, big opening for the torque converter nose...
