Well, we're sticking to the plan of hitting in in February. That'* the next time that I'm going to have money in the budget to give it another whack. In the mean time, I'm trying to find out the viability of using a t65 valve body and pump, as they should be a bit more durable and cheaper to boot. I'll provide updates as available.

I am wondering though how far in you have to go to get to the pump as that "might" be my only issue.

Would be easier to just lower the trans and engine through the bottom and remove the pan.
