Well got a coolant leak from the head gasket. Retorqued the head bolts and didnt help. Hoping the copper gasket seals up from my heat cycles, but I'm not hopeful. 
Trans filled with 7 qts. Then ran motor and marked on the low setting, so it soaked it up. Then added 3 more qts. Need to check level again. No weird noises from the trans using Mobil 1 full synthetic ATF. Well see one day when I can actually drive it. Had to fix a leak from the pan. Tightened that one bolt and bam fixed it.
Fixed fuel leak at the fuel filter inlet and outlet. Tightened and bam fixed.
Coolant leak when filling radiator... Had to RTV the thermostat gasket again. Fixed it.
