The pig made its maiden voyage to Columbus today, the 350 with OD trans is so nice! Cruises interstate speeds with ease and the new fan keeps this piggie nice and cool.

Forgot to post. We went to Talladega national forest a couple weekends ago for an over night camping trip to round out the year. 450 mile trip. Between the Arkansas and Talladega camping plus my commute to work and what not, I’ve put over 2,500 miles on this rig and not a hiccup once!

Updates!! Thanks for the bump @RUSH55 ive been meaning to jump on and update this nasty pig

The pig has turned into a drive to work every other day rig while I work on everybody else’s rigs. Still running strong with no problems, I did a carb swap a month ago to a Demon 750 and it really woke it up! Here’s some random shots of the pig and all his company.

Question for the pros. I noticed some trans fluid on the floor in my shop. I lifted the pig up to find transmission fluid leaking out of the transfercase overflow. Pulled the bolt out of TC and ATF poured out.

I had the transmission rebuilt before install then bolted the AA parts to it. Does this sound like I just need a front TC seal?

1, how is the transmission vented and have you confirmed no restrictions?

2, if the transmission is vented properly and not “pushing” oil past a seal then the input seal on your transfer case would be to only logical seal to take a look at. A double lip seal would be the ideal seal for keeping the two oils separate.
 
What does the output seal of the trans seal against? Is there a sleeve or anything in there between the adapter and trans?
It has a spacer between the trans and transfer that it appears to seal up against?? AA doesn’t have a image on there website showing the actual parts I have.

The transmission has a vent tube on top that is free and clear. It also had a new rear seal installed when it was rebuilt. As for the TC it wasn’t leaking and seemed to be in good order so I bolted her up without changing and seals.

The rear seal would be in the tail housing that is removed to bolt the AA adaptor in place, unless your AA adaptor has a seal your transfer case seal is it for seals between the two.

You are correct about the sea being in the tail housing. The spacer between the trans and TC has a rubber ring to keep from leaking where they meet up. So I’m assuming the only thing keeping ATF out of the TC is the seal. I’m gonna give @cruiseroutfit a call
