Progress looks good!
I wanted to comment on your transmission - you mentioned that the car had spent alot of time sitting. I recently installed a TH-375 in my truck. The Trans had been sitting for a while and unknown to me, had developed rust on the governor drive gear on the output shaft. The trans lasted a day before the rusted gear chewed up the plastic teeth on the governor. I had to crawl under the truck, pull the tail housing and clean the teeth as best I could with a steel wire brush. A new governor, case gasket, rear bushing and seal, and it works just fine.
Maybe something worth looking at since it's out of the car?
