Got the hoist,
thanks!
I think the plan is the engine is going to go in after I get the flexplate. Trans and converter will go in after (converter will be done by the end of next week). Besides the flexplate, all I think I need are water pump, thermostat housing and header gaskets and then the engine can go in.
Trans is going to get completely overhauled. 1.80 straight cut first gear set and much stronger high gear clutches, etc. At that point I can get the trans back in so the car will be mobile. Rear gears will be next. New parachute and slicks will be done at some point, too. Slicks will go on after the car is mobile and the chute is simply a matter of unbolting the old one and bolting the new one to the mount.
Might be a LOT of Midnight Auto nights coming up!
