Got the engine and transmission out of the truck. Wasn't easy. Glad I have a oxygen / acetylene torch to cut. Just purchased a 1985 IROC Z-28 for $1k. Knew it had a bad 700R4 transmission but that didn't matter. The trans from the truck will work perfect, it's a 700R4 too. The IROC has Crager Rims, B & M ratchet shifter, Edelbrock Torker intake, Holley Carb. Not keeping it though. Going to flip it for some quick $. Got the trans out and all the pieces transfered to the good tranny and ready to go in. Tempo is on hold, it's next up. Goal for tomorrow is get the trans back in the Z-28 and running. Need to put in a center link for the Z-28 while it's up and some new sway bar links, one is broke. Hopefully sell the IROC for $2k obo once it's finished. Tempo will go in the garage tomorrow evening and try and get the starter out and fixed. Once the starter can spin the engine over I have a feeling it'll run. +Crossing my fingers+
