I was the owner of that turd...guy wearing the tight Mickey Mouse fishing hat.

Tony and I finished at about 10:00 or 10:30. It sucked ***. It's not even in right. It's hanging on three belhousing bolts and the torque arm is held on by two of three bolts at the tailshaft.

I was able to limp it home (easy starts and 45mph top speed) to Chicago. Thanks for those that helped me.

All I know is it blew about a mile down from lennys, and they pushed it the rest of the way. Maybe Adam can shed some light on this lol

I'm sure the trans swap was fun for you two, tony smelled pretty bad on the car ride home and his clothes were definately trashed after all that junk got on them, but glad to hear you made it home ok and the trans worked out for ya.

We think the pump took a crap...but I don't care enough to go through it and find out. Now I have to limp it to Streamwood and leave it in my parents' driveway.
