1968 Dodge A100 re-born ...again....
Started the project back on 4th of June this year....by removing the engine and transmission for inspection.
The engine looked OK inside, and will eventually make it's way into my buddy Cliff's truck. Transmission was taken straight to a local specialist who has a passion for MoPar work. Tony gets so much Jappa junk and odd-ball transmissions, that this was a dream job for him. Started by tearing it down and cleaning all the parts. Installed a street shift - I opted to go small, as it's hard to wind the clock back once you go big. :D Also installed a slow bleed valve from the torque converter - meaning the fluid doesn't bleed out within hours or days....since the truck might sit for longer periods than normal. Replaced the neutral back-up switch while we were there. I had a local Engineer repair the damaged holes for the dust cover and two mounting holes as well. The welds and re-threading is so good, it's hard to tell it was done. :)
