    I like having an electric water pump. Just turn the key on and the coolant starts flowing. Makes it easier to get the bubbles out of the system without running the engine.

    I would put the Trans in with the motor. So much easier. Although it's tempting don't start until everything is hooked up. Can't you fill the Trans before you start it? You should be able to fill the converter before you put it on the transmission. Then fill the trans. It may not be...

    Life has a way of getting in the way of those plans. Work and family occupy a lot of time in the schedule. Chip away at the big projects. Slow progress is better than no progress.

    So how long before you drop it in the car? The antisipation must be killing you.

    Yeah but it slowed way down quite a while ago. Been doing some dream shopping looking at late 60s early 70s F-100s. Reminds me of my grandfather's pickup that I rode in as a kid.

    Nice! Fuel injection systems are getting cheaper and easier to use every day. I've seen that name in some magazine articles. My car is running ok. Think the tapping noise in the bellhousing is gone. It's still on jack stands in the barn. Haven't done anything to it in a while. Getting...

    They can be a lot of fun and more consistent. As I've gotten older I prefer to sit back and let the transmission do the work.

    Pulled the transmission today with my floor jack. Coming out was the easy part. Putting it back in sucked. Not sure why but one side of the pressure plate was hitting the bottom of the bell housing and causing that tapping noise. Took the pressure plate off and inspected it. Everything...

    Yes it would. You could build boost with the Trans brake on. I've got to much money in my car and Trans to even think about going auto.

    No. Just added more gas to the tank yesterday so it should be full now. Still sitting on jack stands. Thinking about getting a transmission jack and pulling the Trans out myself. The jack is the only thing holding me back. Recent heat and humidity don't help either. BTW I like your C4 idea...

    Good time to burn them off before you get new ones. Put the motorcycle up on ebay. Hopefully it sells. Could use the money help pay for a heat pump system for the house.

    Got it running today. Tapping noise coming from bellhousing. I thought something went wrong when I was bolting up the Trans to the engine. Well that will have to wait for another day. Don't feel like taking out the transmission myself while on my back. Probably tow it to my buddy's shop...

    Draining the gas took some time. The fuel pump doesn't stay on when you turn the key on. Was hoping since it wasn't building pressure in the rail that the pump would keep running. I would have had to hook up a jumper wire somewhere to get the pump to stay on constantly. So instead I cycled...

    Nice one. I picked up 1k rounds last week. Supply has taken hit lately with people buying up what they can.
