I bought this car back in November. It had a bad (missing) rod bearing. We ran it long enough to drive it onto the trailer and off again. We picked up a good low miles motor, dropped the old motor and tranny out, hooked up the new motor and old tranny and put it all back into place. Then it got too cold to work on it until this past month or so. We made sure everything was connected, no leaks, no misplaced lines. Got it running and timed. Went to put it in gear and test it out and nothing.
