Well I got my car painted, (disassembled), transmission rebuilt and restored. It's very hard to find a transmission pan for the 400, They no one reproduces an original style pan! but, I finally found a good one. Now the engine it at a friend's shop, who built and owned the car, 35 yrs ago, still looks brand new on the inside. with all the correct, date coded parts. And come to find out, he had ran the engine for a bit, in a chevelle, and changed the oil pan at some point or another, so' the oil pan is incorrect, So now the search goes one for that.
