Before you do that, at one of the recent Greater Midwest Classics rally's, the membership approved the rebuilding of a 425 transmission to be kept on hand for use by those in the area, or passing through the area who needs one. I think a fella by the name of Jerry Loen was going to do the rebuild, and I volunteered the two transmissions that I got from you for parts or a rebuild core. Also, as soon as I am clear of other things I am working on around here, if I haven't heard from Jerry, I am going to have one of those two transmissions, rebuilt by Steve Turnquest of Transformation performance, and have it on the shelf for those who would need one. The only issue with doing one for the shelf is that we don't know how long it may sit on the shelf before it could get used. Just something to think about.

Larry, et al,
For long term storage, Manny's technique is to plug the bell housing vent,
set the transmission on its chain housing, and fill it with transmission
fluid (he uses WalMart's except in switch pitches -- Mobil 1) all the way
to the top of the final drive flange. A solid cover, made using a gasket
as a template, bolted to that flange keeps things sealed and protected
indefinitely. An eye-bolt into

Thanks Ken. Will definitely keep that in mind if/when I do this.
An eye-bolt into.........What?
