I got about 5 hrs in this afternoon, so I got a lot of tinkering done. I installed the manifolds and fuel pump, and drained the tranny fluid and dropped the tranny pan. The fluid looks pretty clean, a little murky but then it's been sitting for 40-50 years. There wasn't any debris in the screen and everything looks clean inside, I haven't looked in the bottom of the pan as I left it under to drip a bit more.
I cleaned up the outsides of the tranny cooler lines, flushed them with parts cleaner solvent, and temporarily installed the cooler so I could get the clamps in the proper places. I need to repair the ends of the cooler yet where it rusted away inside the hoses.
My reverse switch is seized up, unless it is just a source of ground for the circuit? I doubt it but I'll check the diagram before I tear into it, maybe it's fine. That would be a first, though.
I got my new rear hub puller yesterday so I have it on the left rear now, so far no movement but hopefully the elves get it loose overnight. I beat on it until it wouldn't tighten any further so we'll see.
