They even painted the case for me- though not the pan, and that's the part that rusts. :) I'll probably squirt it after I get it installed.I likely won't even be starting on the actual install 'til probably March. Too many other things I have to catch up on, first. Our springtime- hotrod weather :) - is still three months away, so no hurry. :DI would very much like to thank those that bought books and whatnot, to help offset the cost. For those curious, the total for the rebuild was a touch over $2,600, plus another $200 in extras I needed to buy (for some reason, the transmission was missing the speedo drive) for roughly $2,800- which was not far off from my original guess.I'll still need a few other pieces, of course- among other things, an external cooler- but this one was, of course, the big-ticket item.Stand by, more to come!Doc.
