I've made contact with Legend through the dealer I bought the trans from, waiting to hear back from them.
At this point, my plans are to sell this car, and I'm going to throw a cheap beater together so I have something to test with. The Chevelle just isn't suited for my needs at this point--it's an original 4 speed car, so permanently converting it to automatic just doesn't sit right with me. Most importantly, it's already got low 11 second potential, and that means a cage, which is not happening in this car.
Stuck between a rock and a hard place, as the old saying goes.
As I'm planning to build something else, whatever I build is going to need a transmission. As such, I'm trying to figure out a way to get my 400 Turbo core built and get my hands on a suitable converter. If I can manage to make that happen, I'm looking to TEMPORARILY stuff it in the Chevelle so I can at least have one more shot at getting this slug-bucket bitch down the track in a manner representative of its power level. I'm sick to death of driveline breakage on this car making me look like a ******* chump @ the track.
After that, the driveline comes out along with the interior peripherals (gauges, etc.), the 4.56 12 bolt comes out and the 3.73 goes in, then it's off to a new owner (I hope).
There's no repairing the relationship between me and this car at this point. I loathe the sight of it right now, and all I want is for it to be out of my face.
