My valve body is cracked right next to the casting number,hairline with a small hole too!This would be an internal leak for sure.It may be repairable as it is on the top of the body away from the machined surface.
The early castings were prone to cracking in that area, don't bother trying to weld it, the heat is sure to warp it.

I'm getting ready to have a 65 trans built for my 57 wagon project, any build tips or converter choices before I get started? I am looking for a super dependable combo, mostly street driven but I'll flog it on occasion. Right now the trans and converter are all stock and untouched. Car combo is as follows: 413 Long Ram engine, bored to 426, short ram intakes, Hyd roller cam, 9:2:1 pump gas combo, 405HP/495TQ (dyno'd) 8.75 with 3.23 gears 14.00 wheels, not sure on tires yet Weight 3,650 (light huh! ) Push button shifter
