I have never worked on or used one of these. Resealing it would worry me. I don't know if they were later converted to a modern torque converter. They were tough transmissions when set up right and did a lot of work behind 302 & 270 GMCs.
Keep us up on your progress.
If the goal for the MH wasn't to be something we can take wherever we want and find parts when we break down maybe it would have a home in there still but it's just too obscure and I cant imagine finding someone that can work on it or get replacement parts, just like the 302... Glad it's finally apart and I'm going to get stuff cleaned up enough to get casting numbers and then list it for sale in the marketplace here and a few other places.
FYI, engine runs and transmission works so spread the word.
