Well the T10 transmission is together and back in my frind's Corvette. Now I have an Orion transfer case on the bench (in my warm basement not the cold garage) to repair. It was assembled incorrectly and would not shift out of high range. It was in Ben delp's 40 when he bought it two years ago. We pulled the Orion and temporarily installed a spare unit from my garage. Upon disassembly we found that the high speed gear had weelded itself to the splined shoulder on the output shaft. Typical problem caused by using the wrong thrust washers in an Orion, no clearance for the high speed gear to rotate on the shaft. It was a bitch to get apart I'll tell you. In any event the parts are on their way from Advance Adapters and I am hoping to have it back together early next week.
Drove out to Lock Haven Monday to bring home a 40 frame and tub and a truck full of parts. Got home safely but not without incident, that story is for another time. A few pics of the 80 with a borrowed trailer and the Orion on my bench are attached. Of course the 80 pics were taken before last night's five inches of the beautiful white stuff!
