Try a search as where/if you're leaking is a common one and can be addressed (usually) with a Dremel and some JB weld.
Are you near a tool rental place or friendly with a garage or body shop where you could rent/borrow a portapower ram to spread the frame??

Thanks Paul,
I have not figured this photo post thing yet so let me try.


The fellow that is building me a motor said it is a fairly common leak and it can be repaired. I think he said it could be brazed which means I'd need to pull it or try to braze it myself. There are enough issues/concerns with this motor I'm just going to bite the
bullet or rob a bank or pan handle and get a rebuild.

The Portapower is a good idea I'm not sure about having a away to get it in place so it doesn't interfere with the trans.

I'm afraid it's not such a nice truck now
