Leaking transmission

Well that depends if you're piecing it together, or if you have a donor-car, and what the end-goal is.
To piece it together, you would need the correct engine brackets and insulators, the exhaust manifolds and a new exhaust system. Then you need to hook up the carb so it and the kickdown all work properly, and cannot hang up, wide open. Then there's electrical,cooling and fuel to deal with. And an air filter system.
And after that, there's suspension steering and brakes to deal with, and probably a suregrip and tires. And seat belts I guess, cuz even a 273 will nearly double your power.

Eh, minor details. :D
I don't think I ever jacked a Mopar up that high.
How high does it take to dump fluid?
Was it run in the air and foamed it from fluid being up around the drums, overfilled or sat awhile and backfilled before it was jacked up?
Overfilled, sat and then jacked up?

You were still right no matter which.

Just curious.:D
