LilRed66,

If I cannot find a replacement tranny locally pretty soon, I may come up to see you. I don't want to go through the expense of rebuilding mine, but I am not quite ready to do a lot of mods to go auto yet.

My ultimate plans are to swap in a 327 with either a TH400 or 700R4. I have a 327 that I can pick up for $100 from my brother and I found a TH400 in my mom's shed last week that she told me to haul off if I wanted to. The tranny belonged to an old racing buddy of my Stepdad's who has not been around for about 7 years. Heck, Dad passed away over 2 years ago. I don't know what kind of shape it is in, but knowing the guy who left it, it is in really good shape. Then again, I would like to have OD that a 700R4 would offer.

But, like I said, I am not at that stage yet, so these parts will be in storage, waiting to be brought to life.
