518 is in!!!

OK, I've been working on other things and my garage has been torn apart. Tomorrow I will take side shot pics of the car with a tape measure to show clearance to the pan.

According to my Mopar parts guy..all 727 pans (except the cast aluminums) have been superseded. All transmissions (727, 518, 46,47,48 ) all show the same stamped pan with reusable gasket, which is the pan I have on my car. The cast pan in the pics, appears to have met the road pretty hard on a few occasions, and was beat up pretty bad. It wouldn't seal once we tried to put fluid in it.

The angle on the tail shaft looks good, and although it's REALLY close, the transmission does not appear to be contacting the floorboard, even when not bolted to the subframe.
