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.

Felt kindof bummed out but atleast all was well in the end.
