I went to pick the Poop-On up today.
Thanks to Joel's wife for taking me!!
Rebuilt engine is back in.
Rebuilt Tranny (done by Joel - Adam'sApple). She sounds and runs GREAT!! A lot more tork to her, and I mean A LOT!!
The tranny is nice and tight, shift's perfect.......THANK YOU SO MUCH MASTER JOEL!!












I am so happy that I think I'm in Heaven! I've been driving her all day since I picked her up. I even took her downtown Dallas...HOLY COW!!
Beautiful day for driving. I just might sleep in her tonight..........




I'll take some pictures of the rebuilt engine and post them. Didn't do anything special to the engine, just had it slapped back together with the new parts back to stock.

Sorry I'm so silly, but I just had to spread the excitement.....
