My pain from this week is going to last quite a while.
Got my new 455 finished in Feb. Mounted it nice and easy with the tranny attached on a bare subframe. Spent the past couple of months slowly putting the front half of the car back together. A few trials, some customizing, but it ran and I was this close to having it legal for the street. 10 years this car has been off the road.
Decided to take it around the block Thursday. Open headers so I took it slowly. It's probably the 4th time I've had it running.
I blew out the rear oil pan seal. The friggin motor has to come out again.
