yeah it is, the only problem with that is the trans leaks like a ***** and is alway 'wet'. Im going to look at it tonight and see how bad the gears are inside...if they are totally gone then ill need some kind of service or something but thanks for the replies...now if the exterior looked that good...

ok got an update, finally got the motor and trans in. The trans is ok for now, its still going to whine but at over 400 for parts it can stay like that. my trans guy said its fine and replaced a bearing that was shot. so i bolted it together and here we are...









In about another 3-4 hours on the motor it will be running, just need the basics installed.
