A new driveshaft and a busted tranny!

Looks like I'll be pullin the engine again.. All good fun though.. I'd rather have it bust now than do it on the way to the first car show.. This is how I get the bugs out of it.. hahahaha

bummer old man! been off line latley, so hows everything else going?

Things are going great. No big problem with the tranny. Got a guy puttin' the ears back on, and pullin' the motor out gave me a chance to fix a few other things that were on the list.. Also been gettin' a lot of work done on the house.. Hope you and yours are doing well..

@rpeek I was thinking of maybe drilling and tapping new holes in your cast iron front part of a bell housing there, (which may actually be part of the block) but anyway tapping it and bolting P glide mounts to it and that crossmember???

Oh no!! what does that mean now? You need a new transmission?? or is something that can be repaired?? Talk about "oops" events..

we dont get to see much of that in nova scotia any more sence thay went on the big crushing spree in the 70s ,

Yea, I've actually got one of those old Chevy bell housings.. If I ever swap this thing over it'd be a piece a cake.. hahaha

Was pretty nice yesterday.. Snowing today..

Wow that sucks, I love your Oh well personality. Adding that crossmember under the bellhousing looks like a good idea. Good Luck..or should I say Better Luck. :o)
