Mighty fancy plumbing there, Hank. It sure must be nice to be able to route in with all that room to work. Just one more thing to recommended the body-off route. But I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have been satisfied if you didn't get to see (and remove, refurbish) every nut, bolt, gadget and gizmo to better-than-new. Thanks for all the priceless documentation. Also, I wonder how many "mechanics" trashed a T Ultra trans to "fix" it and "improve" it, then blamed the failure on "those no good Ultramatics."

There were a couple of modifications that my Dad found to be beneficial when he was going through the T Ultra on our 400. He told me what they were back then, but they're lost to history now. The tranny worked great, and it was run really hard for years.

Keep fighting the good fight!
