Well, I'm back.
I became frustrated at this car and had run out of patience and time. I put the front end and hood on and literally kicked it out of my garage.
I brought my Marauder in, and replaced the blown factory transmission with a built-capable-of-600hp transmission. I have maybe 300hp in that car for now.
I proceeded to break the new "built" transmission, 191 miles after install.
I was very upset and angry, however, the shop is taking care of the issue and sending me a new unit for free. we handled it like adults, and will work together to find out why it failed.
Onwards!
The Tank is in the garage now. I put a new dipstick and tube in, along with the proper oil filter adapter (in grabber green), power steering pump is reinstalled, along with the belt, starter hardware in on, and newish grey injectors are installed.
I'm going to grab new spark plugs at lunch and this hooker will be running tonight!
