U/SA 302 ffffford build

I pulled the cooler lines off and fired it up...nothing. So I guess my front pump is gone? The converter went in 3 clicks, fully seated so not sure what happened.
So, tomorrow start draining it and pull it out. Take it to a local performance auto transmission shop and get it rebuilt. This tranny was sitting for some years before I got it, maybe the seals all dried up?? Who knows, but maybe this was part of my reverse pattern valvebody issue. Don't think so because when I initially put this regular valve body in, it worked fine. Anyway, looks like the tranny is coming out tomorrow.....again....sigh.
