Yesterday, we took the motor to Chesapeake, where the nice people at Electric Motor and Contracting Co. agreed to clean it for us.  Hopefully it will be ready within a week or two!

Test Fit

After the motor arrival, we decided to see if it fits.  It does!  We still have to take off the strange little drum brake, though.

MOTOR ARRIVAL

The motor arrived on a giant truck.  We towed it into the garage and inspected it.  Can't wait to test it and pop it in the car!

Shift Cable Repair

YAY!
We fixed the shift cable with some duct tape.  Now 3rd, 4th, 5th, and reverse gears should work.

Progress!

The motor we purchased from Atlanta Liftruck Salvage is coming tomorrow.  The employees were especially helpful with motor selection.  SO EXCITED!  Also, thanks to Pearson Toyota for their generous contribution.
