What rpm is your converter dragging it down to? If it is 600 to 700 see if the engine will run that low in neutral. My stock converter in my Chevelle took the LS6 cam down to 600 or so and it would barely run. My CX converterin my camaro comes down to 700 or so and the L78 will idle there.

Is it the same guy who swears he ordered a 69 SS with a 427 and it was not a copo?

From reading the links it looks like there are at least some parts difference between the Muncie and the Saginaw. It would help the value if you determine which. If I had a SS car I was doing the Muncie would be what I was looking for. Just from memory it looks very similar to one I had from a 69 Chevelle that had a Muncie 3 speed. After several tries and being told that there were no Muncie 3 speeds in 69 I had to pull the trans and take it to the speed shop for the Hurst rep to see to get a shifter.

I agree with Darrel but it is good. If right price and date I would use it.

I know the yoke is different but I think the shaft will work.

It is not gunk. They used some tar like sealer that works really well. Never tried it but a heat gun might help.

Drive it further. You want the oil to get hot and thin out to work up into the sliders and inside the brass rings. If you stick to short trips it could take a while but one long trip should do it. Even in neutral with clutch out most parts are rotating.

Something I did not know. Is this a way we could identify a 302 assembled? With or without the balancer on. Maybe post some pics.

You think someday an interior other than gray or tan in a car produced in this decade might be "rare"

I think what is trending today is anything "different". So many muscle cars have black interiors and are red or blue that something different just catches your eye. My 6 cars are 6 for 6, all black interiors. My next one will be "different"

I think you are overdoing it. Just drain it overnight, put the 90 weight in it and try it. Drive it through the gears when you do and let the oil get up in all the sliders,ect.
