Got the exhaust leak fixed, and the coolant purged and running (just distilled water, as I expected there was a leak with I have fixed, so shortly I will swap to coolant).
I was going to load the transmission a bit to get the temps up to make sure my cooler lines don't leak, but I blew the front passengers brake line. I ordered a new hose, I am so glad this happened on the lift, and not driving.
After I replace the line and bleed it, I need to fix the throttle line. I ordered a spool of 50 ft wire, as the cable isn't long enough for the new throttlebody I installed. After that Its just some tidying up in the engine bay, and a couple of wiring thins inside the car.
The big item left to deal with is the rear decklid, not sure how well it will fit with this new throttlebody, but I will figure something out.
Looks like after almost two years I will have the car back on the road, swapped the blown 4 speed Muncie for a built 4t65e-hd.
