Hello guys and gals,
Sorry; I've been out of touch for a while. The next three weeks are going to be hard for me as the quarter is coming to an end.
I ended up selling the old transmission (sorry I went against your advice, spacemanspif). I needed the cash to pay Irving. I saw a couple 700r4s on sale for 700$ already rebuilt, so I think I'll just get another rebuilt one when the time comes. Currently waiting on my paycheck to arrive so I can spend a little bit more to finish the van (parts like the radiator, water pump, starter, alternator, wiring, etc). Btw that pan gasket link is super useful haha, it's ingenious to identify transmissions that way.
Irving put in the engine onto the mounts from the looks of it:
He also has a question about the flywheel. He says that it can't handle the torque of the starter. This does not make sense to me as the flywheel came with the engine. What do you guys think?
