Todays installment!
Got the power pack out and split. This tranny works well just has a bad leak behind the torque convertor, either the pump gasket or shaft seal.
Even managed to remove the tranny cooler lines without any damage :)
A little bit of grime to clean but not too bad.
What's left of the left tranny mount.
Right side completely fell apart after all the weight was lifted off.
These two following pics are of the inboard body mounts at the firewall. Looks like the heat from the catalytic convertors actually melted the rubbers!
You can really make out where the convertors are with the paint has been cooked off.

They were huge! My dad had one. 👍

Absolutely LOVE this build diary. Read the whole thing top to bottom! Can't wait to see the fully finished project. I sold my Road Runner convertible a while back and now I'm looking for a 1977 or 76 LTC to resto-mod and drive wheels off of! Also following you over at the Lincoln forum.

You're really making me miss the '78 Town Coupe I had 30+ years ago.
