72 Duster build - Pro touring slant six
Been moving real slow on this but progress has happened with a few setbacks.
Always had a decent sized transmission leak and always thought it was the pan gasket but turned out there was a crack in the case! Thought about just replacing the case but figured it would be better just to get a new transmission. Luckily Cope Racing had a slant six case in stock and the order was placed. Took about a month to get but the swap went smoothly. Only issue I had was I couldn't get the torque convertor all the way seated because the tabs had shifted in shipping. Once that was fixed the old one came out and the new one dropped right in.
