just got a call from the trans shop and it isn't good news.the trans is totally shot.both the forward and direct drums are welded together and all the clutches and steels/pressure plates are shot all to hell.time for a complete rebuild .not cheap.

time for a little update,the header flanges are finished and turned out beautifully.the trans is awaiting arrival of a rebuild kit from level 10 in new jersey with the best parts available for this trans,i have made a trans dipstick for it seeing as how ford never thought it was important,lol.i found a nice set of 3into1 header collectors for the build at cone engineering in california made of 304 stainless.block gets bored next week and the rotating assembly gets balanced before reassembly.heads are being ported n polished and titanium valves installed.
