Wait till you see the kit everything stainless, the flange and rod for the brace. So its going to be a nice piece.
Trans was basically fine just was overheated so had him do a freshening. Done by Shawn over at best transmissions in Springfield

Very nice, I am jealous for sure! One day I will learn that technique, till then it will be my ugly free hand stuff, lmao. It is getting better though!
My attempt at free hand and a little walking of the cup on the inside there...very inconsistent compared to yours:

I say pull a couple caps to check bearings throw your arp bolts/ studs on the new motor clean it up and let it eat. No since in turning a 300 dollar junkyard motor into a 600 or 700 dollar motor. That's the beauty of a 300 dollar motor you really don't have to give a crap about it.
The downside is the time to swap motors out. Let's not forget if the rod actually broke and punctured the pan while he was doing 100mph+ it could easily oil down the rear tires and send him into the tree's. I've seen a few cars pushed and oil down the tires.

That is a very good thought.

I'm just hoping to run this till the end of the season and I'm dropping my other block off to get it built all forged 370? Or maybe something else? I'm open to suggestions

I've seen some people use sheet metal pans under the motors for that reason not sure how effective that would be but I guess it's a piece off mind, any chance you have a alignment bar for some rearend welding need to have one shortened and some other welding done to it?
