I wish i would have been that lucky. But unfortunately the trans case is broken into the area where the pump housing is.
Also the Ati treemaster 5800 stall converter is damaged and needs repair. along with the transmission, something broken inside. haven't had time to work on car recently.
But i have got my self another good th350 case with shift kit and 2400 stall holeshot converter, also got myself a stock but good 350 engine from Blazer. that will go in to the car, so i can drive it this summer, Because the flexplate is bent and damaged along with the stout Ati converter i must take the engine apart to check the bearings along with crankshaft straightness !
