The motor/tranny that was installed came from a completely running/driving '69 New Yorker (IIRC). I've got the motor/ignition in a way I can fire up the motor. I'm going to install the radiator, but don't have tranny lines yet. Right now, there is a rubber line connecting the inlet/outlet on the tranny. Will it hurt the tranny if I fire up the motor for a couple of minutes?, no tranny engagement. It'll be a milestone in the car's project future. Thanks in advance..

To run it for even a few minutes there should be sufficient fluid in the trans to allow the converter to fill and bring the fluid level near full. Do the running in Neutral, not Park.

I've got my new engine and trans in ready to run but am still waiting on the rear end. Would I be able to run this with out the rear end installed? I do have a driveshaft that I could use to plug the output shaft of the transmission but just want to make sure it would be ok to run in neutral as the other end of the driveshaft wouldn't be connected to anything.

If you could find a way to support the driveshaft and keep it from turning you'd be OK. The INTERNET, the MISinformation superhighway
