Apologies on the late repost, I've been having trouble locating a 2 hole filter, if necessary I'll just drop the pan change the fluid & gasket. The current filter in place does not look bad at all. And good news is that the transmission shifts firmer than ever, still sounds the same with the...

Thank you very much for the help @MONC440 , @CBODY67. The block has been identified as: V = 1964 36 = 361 10/2 = October 2nd Interesting how there are no other indications of the block receiving other machine work done to it.

Appreciate it, thank you very much.

Appreciate it, thanks. I'll clean off the rest of the gack off of the block with the area's you mentioned & refer to the FSM.

Awesome, that'd be great thanks.

Hello and greetings once again. I realize there are many posts regarding decoding of Block casting pads, but I have not seen a post that describes the full extent of what kind of block I'm in possession of, it'd be great if you can assist me in decoding some of the listed pad numbers. The "V"...

Thank you for the help so far, will repost again, hopefully no more undue unforseen escalations. Thank you @myskin , @MONC440 , @3175375

Next day: ATF+4 in the transmission. Still shifts like it used to but sometimes soft/sometimes firm shifts. I reckon KD linkage adjustment is in order next. Anywho, I'll check on the ATF again next time I drop the pan. Won't be funny if the "pile" of shavings reappeared.

Ran out of time today & the local stores don't even carry ATF+4, sometimes I'm not even sure why the local parts stores are even called "PARTS STORE" all they sell is air freshener's and the like, unbelievable. #PartialRantOver Will drive a spare car out to get some ATF+4 a few further miles...

Ran the engine to drain/pump the Torque converter fluid out VIA transmission cooler return line. Small silver "glitter" in the drain pan. Really small though, not like the flakes that were in the pile previously.

Dropped the pan, and the "pile" has not changed but what the hell is that?? 2 O-ring looking objects in the pan.

I realize this is throwing a wrench into the mix, the softer shifts may have been due to fiddling with the kickdown linkage to get right. And also have been adjusting the Low/reverse band. Not exactly sure if my "fiddling" was a potential cause to the soft shifts, just some thoughts. The cooler...

Hi there. Yes, I have got a new Torque converter from Hughes performance torque converters. And temporarily, I am running high pressure rubber cooler hoses routing from the trans to the radiator, and to the auxiliary cooler then back to the trans. Thank you for the input, unfortunate to hear...

Ok, apologies if this seemed like an obvious answer regarding cleaning out the pan. #face palm Thank you very much for the feedback. Will clean out the pan next time.

Correct, I realize not cleaning out the pan Everytime I pulled the pan would be counter intuitive, but just needed to confirm the fact that the pile is not "growing" in a sense, I do have another in line filter that should take care of any other smaller particles smaller than the shavings...
