Ogeechee was kind enough to drop a 3" block in the mail today so I am set in that depratment. Thanks bro!
Finished the tranny install and fired her up with the driveshafts removed so I could prime the system without a load.
There was a decent drip from the bellhousing at first so I suspect the seal just needed to get soaked and then it stopped after about 5 minutes. I think I have a small pan drip so we will see tomorrow if it continues or not.
Unfortunately the 5 quarts of type F was not enough to fill everything so I could only get the forward gears to work. I hope that the additional fluid tomorrow will energize the reverse mechanism.
Oh, and now that I put my 3" body lift back on I have to re-fabricate a linkage extension too.
If the leaks stop and the reverse gear works I will install the driveshafts and take it for a spin. More tomorrow.
