I know it's aweful but we're having an argument about leaks and she just won't give in. The engine has about 2K miles and the trans about 500 miles but both are leaking I guess from lack of use. I replaced seals, gaskets, the rear main a couple of months ago and fired her up and....more leaks. So there she sits.

On a happy note, it is very apparent that the 5.3L oil pan is way too low in the '50 frame so I went in search of an LS1 pan figuring it would cost me another $2-300 for everything. Then I got in touch with a local guy who says I can have his for $20 so that kind of made my day!
