To Crash test, one of my parts cars was a 70 Calais, striped her down to the bare bones, no doors, front sheet metal or roof, used it for a wood truck for years, she'ed carry more than a 3/4 ton truck, would load her all the way up to the dash 7ft. high with cedar, my kids would sit on top to let me know if anybody was coming from my right side, the Forest service guys would just laugh. Finally broke the frame! go figure.

And if your trans is leaking, no biggy they come out pretty easy. those old front seals don't like sittin that long.

If you do replace the EXH go dual, my 70 coupe would cruise at 110mph going from Placerville to Pollock Pines on Hwy 50, 2200 elevation to 4000 in 10 miles no problem, lots of fun. Of course only when there was NO other traffic, I'm not a complete doof.

Nice. Yep, I'm familiar with a TH400. I tried replacing the dipstick tube and speedo drive o-rings, but they didn't seem to be where the problem is. That's why I'm guessing it's the front pump seal. The tailshaft is dry, and there was some leaking out of the speedo drive, but the cable was loose on that. It's just gonna suck dragging that beast out of the car. I hate bathing in ATF just a little less than I hate bathing in gear oil.

Yeah, I'm thinkng duals. Although I'm not planning any 110 MPH runs anywhere soon in that car. Just a nice weekend cruiser.
