Seen it before, but when I seen it, it was in my drag car after I pulled the wheels high enough that the backs came off the ground then when it came down... you can imagine. But I would check mounts.

Let me know where you are located. I have the '96 core out of my car. Shipping is pricy though so if you are close it makes sense, I am in north cal.

Re: what in the hell-o would cause this crack?

I have seen cracks like that from people not having the converter all the way on and trying to draw the tranny to the block by tightening the bolts down.

Not that I,ve ever done anything like that or anything..........OK once but I was very young and didnt know what I was doing.

If that tranny is original then its crazy, maybe a structural flaw?

i have seen that when a rear main seal retainer bolt backed out and banged around in the dust cover making a hole in the case.

She's hooking hard with no mid plate and a factory bell.
Might want to call J&W and see what they offer.
