We have a new project in the shop.AOD tranny was ran for a few blocks with no fluid it is making alot of "binding/rough"noise in 1,2,D and OD,but not reverse if at all it is just a little bit...what burned up...? I know nothing can be told exact until tear down,but can you guys put it in a nutshell.

Also car has 30lb injectors with a 347 block stock heads Trickflow intake stock throttle body and a calibrated mass(30lb of course)stock fuel regulator.Car is running really really rich.can the injectors be drowning it? We changed fuel regulator due to failure.

What we have in store for her are a set of Patriot heads and a Vortec S trim all before it leaves the shop.will it make up for the huge injectors?

KJ

any other information needed please ask.

Check the pan for metal shavings, also the clutch discs could have had all the grasping material worn off of them
