Big shout out to Cleatus and Mark K., thank you and others for the help. i would NOT have completed this without all the help here.

got the rig running last night. Wound up being a combination of starter solenoid, depleted batteries and I think it was mostly the faulty ignition switch. Got it on the road today to test the transmission and it works great. It definitely puts a big smile on my face! I’ve only got about 5 miles on it but time will tell how she holds up. Happy new year fellas.

I just wound up rotating the engine by hand on the flex plate. It was much quicker and less risky. Saved lots of time
