No one mentioned the hook up with an automatic transmission. Does one need to fill it with transmission fluid? If so, wouldn't fluid poor out the tailshaft?
I filled the converter and dropped a couple quarts in it. I ran the engine long enough to break in the cam , about 30 minutes. I secured a yoke in the tailshaft and made sure it was in park, ran a rubber line from one coolant line to the other. never leaked a drop. if I had had a different way to mount the starter I would have , but it worked out just fine using the A/T
