found a good deal on a new oil pan kit. comes from a hummer and gives enough clearance to where i dont need to cut my crossmember. PN# 19212593. comes with the pan, dipstick/dipstick tube, windage tray, pick up tube, gaskets and bolts. 132 shipped.
also trying to work a deal on a used MSD 6012 ignition and air cleaner. hopefully we can come to an agreement. this long term project is happening a little faster than i planned lol.
as for the transmission, i think phantom talked me into a full manual valve body 80e. a buddy at the local dealership has a 80e core in and i think they want around 150 for it. time to learn how to rebuild a transmission myself! it's a good skill to have, but i HATE HATE HATE the smell/texture/taste of burnt trans fluid (somehow i always end up with it in my mouth? i guess i touch my face too much.

There is a joke to be made in the last couple posts.........LOL
If I had the equipment to take out the transmission at my house I would love to learn how to rebuild one....
