I BELIEVE MD-8 is a 700-R. I show MD-8 means "Four speed auto."
What is the shape of the pan?

9= 1982

Well the trans, carb, intake manifold, dizzie,and headers are not original. also I have not got into the heads.
But I did find the problem with the front end, number one the wheel bearings are in need of replacing. this car had a broken control arm and after it was repaired there was no alignment done. and one wheel is about 1" off the other. But nothing that a little work can,t fix. then off to the next proplem..

Good looking deal Darrow.
I would decide early which direction you wish to go.
Stock, or modded.
Bob is installing a 700-R in the 57, and taking out the 400.(Just an FYI)
Since you'll never find the # correct tranny, it's a hard call to make.

MD8 is a 700R4. It's cast into the case. Data plate will be on the right rear of the case just in front of the tailshaft housing.
Sounds like that even with the number matching block, it's not virgin enough to worry about anything matching. Do what you want to.

I took a run done to Darrow's today. Looks like a good project for someone with $$$.:smash:
New interior, new paint, and minimal work and wifey will be set.:stirpot:
All in all, he got a VERY good deal.(And Kevin may have gotten a truck):stirpot:
