Re: 77 longbed "overbudget" build

well the trans turned out to be what I was hoping for. Its clean, and the front and rear seal seem to be newer and dont leak. ALso what lil fluid was left in the trans was very clean no burnt smell so im veyr happy with my $200 buy. the stall is in very nice condition aswell.

Now tomarrow i am going to pull the old tranny out of the truck and look at renting a cherry picker cause i think I iether have a rear main or the back rubber oil pan gasket out. Im also changing cams cause mine wiped a lobe off from me over tightning the rocker and not knowing enough about oil to add the zinc additive so im getting the new cam in a few weeks. Im going to pull it all out and clean and repaint the block and get everything nice again them reinstal the engine and tranny as one unit this time.
