You did great for 380 dollars for everything. Now you just have to understand that you bought basicly a junk motor that has good parts and a trany that is a good core. Why in the world would you think that a motor that has any rust on the inside will start up and run ? I have bought motors from the scrap yard that was in the same shape or better and never even had a thought to just try to start them and mabe use them in a car. The converter is just a junk 11" stock piece.
