At least your chase has come to an end and you can get this car going!

Got everything in, smoothly I might add. I got a whole block before something made a noise, stalled the car and lost all gears but park.

Tomorrow morning it’s being towed to a shop. I’m not pulling this out again.

Here it sits.

Sorry to hear. What a frustration. Car looks awesome at least!

Didn't you have the thread with the spacer plate issues? And said you left the tc on the engine the first time and used the bolts to pull the engine and trans together?

No, my spacer plate is in there. I did have problems a few months ago, and I'm convinced I did all the damage myself. I'm to blame.

Ah, okay. I remember someone having issue. Plate was on backwards, I think even wrong starter.

That was me- but I didn't install the motor with the TC already on, it was in the trans.

Shop still has the car- I got a call yesterday that I obliterated my pump and I'm waiting for further diagnostics.

Update

So it turns out I ate the pump, the TC housing, TC itself, stator splines and destroyed the pump (again)

I found a used trans out of a Charger for $150 at the local wreckers. Perfect for replacement parts. I’ve got the shop taking ALL my transmission parts (including the internals from my AWD NAG1) and building me a good solid trans out of three. So I’m the end I have a brand new 0 mile motor and a strong transmission. I’m going with the 3.5L torque converter (again) cause it has a higher stall than the stock R/T one and I installed a COMP Cam.

First two pics are getting the trans from the wreckers. The other pics are of my damaged parts.

Again, this was all from my install that I really messed up somehow.
