Restored a 66 Ford Gallexy 500 XL, had no motor but the transmission was still sitting on the cross member when I bought it. The torqu converter was sitting in the rear seat floor boards. As the trany was open to the front to the weather and road dust, I totally dissasembled it ,cleaned it and put it back together. I then bought and rebuilt a 428 and put assembled it all together. Was about to start the motor for the first time but for some unknown reason, I looked in the back seat where the torqu converer used to be and there sat the shaft that runns between the torqu converter and the trany (never noticed it when I picked up the converter. Any way to make a longer story short, I took 2 hours to remove the motor, install the shaft, reinstall the motor and have it running all by my self. Felt kindof bummed out but atleast all was well in the end.
