So what are the three cables coming out of the transmission? One is the speedo, one is probably for the shifter but what is the third one? The question is more to satisfy my curiosity. The tranny will be going in the classified section soon.
The rest of the story is, the engine was part of the negotiations in the purchase of an original '53 Chevy sedan. The seller would not agree to the offer we made but did agree to throw in the 383 and tranny.
