doesn't even look like it'd fit
BTW, without going into the specifics, the rebuild was done really well - got a free new reworked valve body in the deal too.

Oh, and CAR LIFT FTW

The auto takes ALOT. The converter alone is gonna hold a few quarts. Plus theres the pan and thats another couple quarts. So yes, it does take alot. Not sure if it will take all you have there, but a good bit of it.

Yeah, when we unbolted it - the pan dumped out about 3-4 quarts. Ima put in about a quart maybe 1.5 in the TC then slide it on, the pump should fill it up once i start it. I think the TC alone will hold 3- 4 quarts. So i guess ya that makes sence, 4 and 4 leaves 5 (i have 13)for the actual moving parts

unfortunately no, it's my GF's Dad's lift who is kind enough to let me use it pretty much whenever i work on my car. It's a two story garage, with the top being a playroom that is level w/ the house and the bottom being two huge roll up bay doors that lead into a garage the sq. footage of my house. He has all kinds of dirt bikes, dual sports, and a couple street bikes and a harley + a boat and a golf cart for fun. I love this place He let me just leave my car on the rack after the AODE was out this past week while my tranny was getting pimped

Well actually the smaller the better usually, the top end is 10.5" which is big by most standards. But this was hand built by Spec-Rite who builds for auto alcohol class track cars and they have a pretty good rep in Nor. Cal. so im happy. By D&D do you mean daily driver? 3200 stall should be fine, a lot of people on this forum say either 3600+ or go home, gotta love the modular

yeah, i'd recommend buying a used on at some huge parts lot or something. Honestly if it worx who cares if it's from 1984, hydraulics are hydraulics. Just make sure it has safety locks that work as it lifts.

got it in today, love the stall. The car moves a lil slower at idle and takes a tiny bit more gas to get going but you get used to it after to rides. Also the 1-2 shift is much more solid and earlier now which is great - cuz it was whining out way past my powerband. Also it shifts into 4 later which is good since now my exhaust wont bogg from shifting into 4th early at low rpm's now.
