I wish.......
There's still a lot before that can happen. Since Chrysler was so kind to use the torque converter to mount the ring gear to, I won't be able to fire the engine until the trans is rebuilt. I decided to have my Dad do that for me. I wanted to do it myself but time is running out. Once I get the rear air bag mounts installed and the drive shaft made, the trans will come out and go to the shop.
I also still need to place a large $$$ small quantity order with Hot Heads before I can do the stuff to the engine I want to. But hey, I guess it is getting closer.Ryan

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
