I fired up the 55 the first time since getting home from Daytona and heard a noise coming from under the car and sounds like the trip was hard on the junkyard C-4,since I was wanting to build a 292 while still driving it with the 351 and C-4 it looks like I will have to make a decision.  Its making a rattling sound untill the pressure builds up so the pump might be on the way out and do not want to rebuild this trans since its days were numbered in the 55 but its going to be next winter untill I start on the 292 and would like to drive it next summer,I am thinking about buying a running 55 or 56 with a rusty body and install the drivetrain in my 55 and drive it untill I can go through the 292.  I could try to find a good used trans which would be the cheapest way but dont want to spend a bunch of money on a trans that I will never use again after its pulled from the 55,the 351 has the wrong cam and do not want to replace it since the next car its going in has a manual trans and I want to go a little more radical on the cam for that car so there is no sense in opening up that motor untill its pulled out of the 55.  I hate doing things twice but might have to on this car so I can drive it next summer.
