So.. just a few days ago I was almost set on getting the Liberty upgraded TKO 600 to replace my M-21, but after continuing to uncover bad seals and gaskets causing endless leaks on this car and motor, we decided to pull the motor and just reseal everything pretty much everywhere. So, that decision killed the tranny budget for now.
The trans, clutch, motor and most major parts look to be in pretty good condition, and I have put 500 pretty hard (ok, very hard) miles on this car since I got it 4 months ago. It came with a fair amount of paperwork, but many things are still a mystery... some we hope to uncover very soon.
We got the motor pulled today and while I'm on vacation Rich will start on tearing the motor down, inspecting and resealing/gasketing. When I get back we will finish the rear suspension, brakes, trans, and a few other small things... wait, is anything ever really small? 
Pics from today.
I'm really diggin the red Comp Cams stud girdle.
My rear Willwood kit with the obligatory beverage and Red Witch guide book.
I finally became bumperless.

What all do you have done to your engine is it a 350 or 383?
