Thanks for the vote of confidence Mikel! I had forgotten about the relief. I think it will still fit. I'll just have to get creative. haha.

A little update:
So the T98 in the kaiser has developed an issue. I believe it's the input shaft bearing. I can hear whirring in neutral with the clutch pedal out but not when depressed. Also, it likes to randomly not let me go into gear between shifts. So that was fun on public roads. In any case, that officially puts the 715 out of commission until the V10 is in because I am not dealing with the T98. On the V10 side, I got it painted and I think it looks pretty awesome! I need to paint the valve covers, oil pan, and pulleys still but its close! After than, I'll finish reassembly and start trying to test fire the thing on a stand. I'll have to figure out something for a fuel system and what the computer needs to see but 'm so close! (kind of, not really haha)

I had a broken engine mount bolt that was almost flush with the block. I was able to remove it with the welder. I hadn't tried that trick before and boy was it a relief when it finally came out!

All painted! I chose an early Chrysler blue color.
