Neil, I agree it sounds a little time consuming but, my engine is getting very tired (225,000) and the tranny is leaking something terrible. The cost benefit of fixing the tranny comes pretty close to the cost of doing a transplant with a lot of help of course. I know I 'm stretching it a little , because we all know its the horsepower and and cool factor a V8 wagon that should have been built Please chime in from time to time guys. I'm going to need a lot of help on this one.
