Is the trans out, getting a refresh/build too ? You KNOW that will be the next weak link...

I need one of those 454's for my rollback. I believe the timing chain jumped when I was moving C10 trucks around last fall. Had to tow and push it out of the front drive to the parking pad next to the back shed for the winter.
