Here's the story about this wagon, my father-n-law had it built years ago(last registered was '92). He had an all roller, 14to1, dual quad, sprayed small-block built for it years ago. He never drove it (like all his cars, and probably the fate of the vette too). So he decided to give it to us. The race motor and built TH350 only had about 100 miles on it from a one-time run over a decade ago at the Modesto cruise.....It always had this tranny leak. Years ago, I pulled the engine and tranny, picked up a brand new ZZ4, and resealed the whole tranny.(I figured the race motor was a little much for the StarBucks run). During the first 30 minutes of start up of the ZZ4, the tranny started piss'n again. I was so pissed, I slammed the hood, and never looked back. Turned out, the upper cooler line port had a crack in it (over tightened fitting) from a previous install. Since then, I had the tranny welded up, and it's being sitting.
So here we are in '08 finally getting back to it. !!
