well back from the dead, just wanted to say thanks to trannyman and everybody else for the help
the trans has new valvebody gaskets, input shaft sleeve, channel plate gaskets, 4340 input shaft, and gxp drivechains
trans is back in the car and it runs, so im very happy, and also excited i did it myself!
the GXP chains essentially look the same as the stock chains, they are Morse Hy-Vo, but they have a different number on the links than the other one did obviously
thanks again for the help, just wanted to drop an update!
