Well it runs fine now, still need to do the alignment and install the gauges (hopefully I can make the ORIGINAL type fuel sending unit work with the new vhx gauges.
What I do notice though is the car kinda hesitates between gears if I don't accelerate enough, I'm hoping it's because there's not enough fluid/too much fluid. I don't want to get a new transmission. It seems to shift normally otherwise

I had a similar problem on one of my initial test drives and I was a little low on fluid.

It idles so smooth however, compared to my old 350 I'm scared the car is going to die half the time, it's rather funny

The suspension has an issue where it dislocates after too many left turns, they're going to install a stop so the idler arm doesn't swing out anymore.
