ICT Billet plate for oil feed for the turbo and port for oil pressure sensor, for the future.

Scored a TH400 for the build! From an estate sale, the gentleman who passed rebuilt units from the city and used them for drag racing. Was minutes away from getting a 4L80e, but this will be just fine :cool:

Has a rebuilt pump on it, will have to check it out to see what else has been done to it internally.

Thinking reverse valvebody and transbrake...

Ok this build has my attention. I'm hoping to see some in-depth wiring because it's so not my forte. :popcorn:

I'm not trying to fool anyone. It's no 442, but paying homage to the Oldsmobile. :unsure:

Just don't put GTO and Judge badging on it... oh man... the twisted panties that I bunched.

No lips, just some discoloration. Looks ok for 145k miles:
