It's
actually a 389 with a Turbo-Hydro 400 3 speed automatic
transmission.
Bought it all as a "turn-key" package.
We now have the engine out and ready to start looking her over!

Here's another look at the package. The seller did an awesome job
of putting this together for shipment. Got a
pallet, built a frame for the oil pan, secured the engine and transmission
to the pallet, secured the torque converter to the transmission, etc. Nicely done for that long trip. It arrived
in tack.
Now it's time to get the engine off the crate. Through friends I
have all this great equipment available to me. Now, as long as my neighbors in this "up-scale" area don't complain,
I may be able to do a bunch of the work in the driveway!

I spent about 5 hours cleaning the transmission of grease and grit.
Probably 40 years of it! It's now ready to go to a buddy's transmission shop to be looked over. I'm expecting
him to find it's in great shape and just put in new seals, etc. These TH400's are "rocks". But we'll see.
I know very little about automatic transmissions!

A little "coaxing" onto the engine stand.
