Yea it did have a little water in it. And yes I took the pics about 10 feet from where it had been sitting under a shed, it also had a bronco top on top of it so it wasnt inside but it was covered fairly decent. and as far as having money for the swap goes, I already have everything I need except the flexplate bolts and the wire harness. Other than that it should be ready to go. how much would it cost to have someone go through it? I dont know of any good transmission guys around here all the ones I have dealt with or heard of are crooks so that is another reason. I don't wanna take it to some guy that will just tear my head of and it end up screwing up anyway.
