When bought was a good buildable core, shafts still turn, has been sitting outside covered by tarp. Pictures show tail shaft length, case has no cracks, dipstick tube enters case not pan. Don't know what was wrong before I acquired it, was intending on rebuilding and installing behind a 5.0 in an older mustang. Have a rebuild kit somewhere that will go with it as a bonus if I can locate so price reflects trans only with a free kit. It's located at a automobile shop that used to build trans but no longer does, which means no I will not build it for you. yes it's still available, no I don't know it's birthday, no I don't know what it came out of, yes do your own homework and look on the net to find out if it will work in your app or you may already know, just let me know if your on your way to buy it and no BS offers, will answer any questions I can but no I'm not taking the pan off or disassembling.
