Stop in for a cup of coffee

eh? you're worrying about back up when you don't even have the front up? :wtf:
no, not worrying, i'm looking around. just in case. I learned my lesson the hard way with this 440 block that got screwed up. Finding a replacement block within driving distance took MONTHS and it was a chance happening. So if i can find back up transmission(s) for this, which seem to be harder to locate anywhere in the nation compared to a 440 block, I'm gonna be snagging one or two up.
