Truck is parked

Sigh, those of you who visit the engine and drivetrain section probally already know that I didn't install the tranny right. The flexplate appeared to be bent as I cranked the truck truck over, I swapped a new flexplate on, and it still did as much, so that means the crank is bent. Transmission is probally fried too. So the GMC is off the road for the winter. Gonna get my little Toyota pickup registered and insured, drive it for the winter. I guess this is as good of time as any to start swapping stuff between the two trucks. The cab, wiring, driveshaft transmission and front clip from the GMC are going to the Chevy. I'll also be buying and installing new heads on the TPI 350, breaking the cam in on it, then installing the TPI, and eventually installing it into the ex-chevy. I also need to do some sheetmetal repair on the cab of the GMC, needs new cab supports, along with fixing little dings in the rest of the body. I hope to have it running the TPI 350 / TH400 combo and have it in primer by spring next year.
