**73 Scamp Mini Pro-Street Engine Swap**

Well after I drained the trans I let the pan sit under the transmission to drain for 24 hours. When I was cleaning the pan I wiped my finger on the bottom of it and found all kinds of debris. Shiny metal and chunks of metal. I did not notice it the day before....... so I pulled the trans. Had to cut the exhaust cause it was in the way... I will make it a drop out unit when it goes back in. Also I had to cut the transmission lines....some jackwad used some type of glue on the fittings and there was NO WAY they would come loose. I stripped the fitting trying so out came the hack saw blade.

So I am unbolting the trans, 1 bolt was missing and only 1 bolt was actually tight. The rest I swear were finger tight. I also thought the rear main was leaking but in fact it is the back of the intake manifold leaking down the back of the block. It is not a lot but it is noticeable.... Easy fix.

Whoever worked on this car was a TOTAL BUTCHER. I am in shock that someone would do this kind of work on a car, total non sense at its finest!:violent1:
