180+k '81 225 1-vs and moderate grades do not mix, especially in 3500 lb bricks, despite right foot in water pump and in direct in your OD-4 with 3.55 gears out back.

You MUST wait till the thermostat opens on a 225 to attempt even a slight refill. Not doing so will cause coolant to be expelled, ending up everywhere, including the sides of fenders.

Driving '71 Darts in 100+ degree weather sans carpet will make you feel like a cooked turkey, especially if the heater is turned on high to keep temps in check. (The car wasnt mine, my Buddys I helped retreive).

a trans pan filled with black fluid and many shavings does not mean the fluid was never changed, it indeed was. It really means that its even worse than trans coming out of your 1974 Monaco with busted low/reverse band.

Trans swaps on gravel suck if said trans is worse than the one you just pulled out of said 1974 Monaco.
