Got the temp gage in.... Running around 190... Took it up and down the street a few times, scared some deer out of the back yard... no exhaust yet...

...... The bad news .......

The motor is WAYYYYY to rad for an automatic without a 3000 ROM stahl...

Now I have three choices:

1. Park it.... Not really an option.
2. Pull the cam and lifters and replace them.
3. Pull the motor and use the stock 72 BBOlds in the corner of the garage...

Hey, I could always dump it in the ThunderTurkey.... Or maybe the wifes Astro...
