Transmission is aTH400 , bit off a gamble because I bought this thing on a hunch from a guy who changed his plans on his Buick Wildcat.
Firing this thing up wil be quite nerve racking , I guess.
Still on the fence about changing out the 10 bolt 8.2 LSD for the 12 bolt I have , who needs lots of parts to make it work. (€€€€€).

10 years is a long time... Is it turning over by hand ok? Things can get sticky after so long. Maybe use one of those pressurized oil pre-lube tools and push some oil through it before starting.
