New 408 for the Flyfish

Back to work on the car after a long family vacation.

Finally dropped the trans last weekend, pulled the converter...everything looks OK. The converter fit in the back of the crank is pretty tight, that must have been what I was fighting. If you get the converter slightly cockeyed it binds up.

Went ahead and removed my oil filter adapter (because it is EASY to reach with no transmission in the way) that I never did get bolted all the way in to see the obvious reason it the bolt was not spinning on....rusty threads....like every other bolt hole on this piece of crap block from Indy....I'm going to wait to put the trans back in till I can order a 3/4" tap to clean out these threads.

Maybe I'll have this done by Christmas, lol.
