Re: Transmission seized
I'm going to say that somewhere along the line the 54 transmission got replaced with an earlier one. Very typical of the trip to the wrecking yard to find one that fits back in the day. It fits, it shifts and it doesn't jump out of second were about all the requirements back then. There wasn't a lot of OMG I have to get one out of a 54 because the needle bearing count is different then.
