I got it fired up and checked the trans... everything seems to function fine... I had a few issues that I screwed up on... I couldnt get fuel pressure on the gauge... I messed up and put the lines on backwards at the fender... changed that after loosening the fitting and spraying fuel...still need to set the timing and hook up the steering at the rack(I have to pull that to get the headers in and out).... but it works/runs and the tires turn in all gears and OD... now to give it a bath and a quick check over

Was the tranny locking up on you in OD? It was last time... mess up on assembly... had too many clutch disc in it and it couldnt release one set when the other was suppose to come on... it just didnt have any clearance to release... got it all figured out... finally... it goes into OD nicely now... I want to get it out on the street to check the governor shift points... I'm hoping they are fairly low.. like shift to 2nd at 15 to 18 mph

This was what the front end looked like a month ago... damn hard to find parts for a 2 door L-body or Rampage this was a cherry picker failure(the cyl ram gave out and bent and set the engine on the front end) EDIT this pic is after lifting the engine off the front end... it was pretty much flat on the floor
