Well since mileage isn't the main goal, I changed the title. Should hold true with a 350, 2300 stall and a 3.42 open rear on 70 series tires. Here are some progress pics.
Everything removed up top, fixed a few things and painted the Copper/Brass rad to help keep it from getting green. Of course split half of the coolant as per usual. I also put some vinegar through it. Of course I planned on dropping the trans pan, I saw this.
I think it is the pan, done about 2 years ago when I put this used 2004R in. Of course changing all the trans fluid so I lost maybe a cup full. I wasn't sure what the pan would look like with 260 torque. It looks pretty dam good.
This is the 260, don't care what goes in there. I should shove a stick of dynamite in there. I am basically scavenging anything missing off the 403 from it.
Least you could have done was bricked the throttle to see how long it stayed together. Don't you care about entertaining us anymore?
It is a 260 will low oil pressure, probably would not have lasted long. At 4200 rpm shift points it sounded like about 6000 rpm on a real motor.
I should be able to get the motor out this next weekend, Wife is working. Just the motor mounts, torque converter bolts and four bellhousing bolts and drain the engine oil. I took 2200 to 2500 torque converter which flashes at 2300 stall and put 2 Liters of trans hydraulic fluid through it. I put 1L in shook it around and drained overnight. Took another Liter and did the same and drained for an hour. I put a clean shop rag in the hole and put it on the shelf upside down.
Well I got my modified governor, no issues and should be around 5000 rpm shifts even without the line bias spring change. I grind the small weight anout as small as it will go and stake the spring. I tap the hole and thread in a machine screw then grind off the head. Then I plan on putting a .555 foward boost valve, .296 reverse, stiffer Sonnax spring and regulator valve with the one land cut down. Ever feel you should have left it alone? I managed to jam and wreck both boost valves and then since it was wrecked, I made sure it would still go into the bore. Well I jammed that in there good, so I drilled a hole in it and now have a tap in it. I need to get it out! I will buy a slid hammer, good grief. I have the stiffer spring, modified spool, stock reverse valve and .500" valve I can use. Stupid drippy transmission and me being at an angle is what I will blame on this. I have done this before on my back although out of car is ideal. End rant.
