UPDATE!!! gotta get trans redone

yes it is the lighting.. and NOOOOOOO i didnt paint the engine pink, its good ol chevy orange ... but i do have some bad news, I used the 4th gear wiring kit from Bowtie (solenoid and 4th gear pressure switch) so i called them with pressures before i took it out and i was only getting about 125 lbs in all forward gears and i needed about 200+, so told me go for drive just a short distance... so i did and no shift outta first gear.. so to ake a long story short and after alot of phone calls, i dropped the pan and valve body to free up any stuck valves and wouldnt ya know lotsa grey material in the pan, nice coating of powder (had cleaned it, fluid flush and filter) all when i did the wiring swap .. so now im out looking to wither rebuild that one or buy one and get it shipped in... im pretty bummed but what ya gonna do.. im not a big fan of junkyard automatics anymore.. im 0 for 2 on them... soooooooooo.. i have a very reputable guy ive worked with in the past for rebuilds but wouldnt be able to get it back for 3 weeks (my vacationa nd his are back to back) and he wants 900 to do it... so im gonna check out some of the performance options to see what it would cast to get one shipped here on the pallet... weel see.. any suggestions other than bowtie????
