At a decision point.

Current set up is a very mild 350/350 combo. Both motor and tranny leak horribly but are pretty low mileage and run good. This past summer I lost coolant and it got hot. Not sure how bad.....I never investigate it further. Embarrassing, but life gets busy sometimes.

OK option #1

Rebuild SBC and TH350.

Option #1.1

Pick up a 700R4 and replace the TH350

Option #2

Ditch the 350/350 and pick up a LS and Tranny.

Looks like I can pick up a 150K-175K 5.3 LS, 99-2005 for about $750 locally. No Harness......
