    I'd also price a built 42RH, an overdrive gear would help road-ability a lot.

    It was a long time coming, but I finally decided to take the Fury into the Dr. And try to stop all of the leaks it has. My car definitely likes to mark it’s territory. I have three pans on the floor in my garage. One has red fluid, one has black fluid and one has green fluid. Time to remedy that.
    I ended up with a new rear main seal, new seals/gaskets/filter/etc. for the transmission, a new pan gasket, one new freeze plug and a new aluminum radiator.

    I picked the Fury up yesterday afternoon and immediately proceeded to break the turn signal ‍:facepalm:
    Fortunately it was just the screw that holds it in place that broke, but I still had to borrow the neighbor’s steering wheel puller to get to it.
