Just pulled the engine and noticed alot of metal shavings around the torque converter and bellmouth housing. Im planning on getting a new torque converter anyway and have never had issues with the transmission. 3 speed automatic C-6. No discoloration or shavings in the fluid noticed.

If this is the first time the tranny has been pulled in 39 years, it's most likely normal wear on the flexplate from the various starters installed over the years. If it's a more recent problem, it's from an improperly-shimmed starter. Check for gouges/missing edges from the teeth on your flexplate. Replace as necessary.

Ditto, it may be finished, yet at vast attempt and cost. My sixty 9 CJ Mach1 replaced right into a real soreness basically to discover all the elements to go back it to unique. Engine mounts $50.00, body mounts $one hundred.00 both area, oil pan $one hundred.00, pulleys & brackets $four hundred.00, Fan $one hundred.00... those were in undemanding words a small fraction of the elements required for a automobile that originally cam with the tremendous FE & already you will discover the cost including up... many of the elements were engine/year/form particular and there have been no substitutes available... i visit't imagine the fee of this change... you may be a lot more beneficial useful off searching a respectable sixty 8 with a foul engine and swapping it out with the FE... at the same time as the 390 is a magnificent engine for a 40 year old automobile, it truly has no position between the more recent lighter weight autos... So sure that's technically plausible, yet in accordance to fee on my own i'd fantastically recommend adverse to it...

Sounds like you may have engaged the starter while the engine is running and the metal may be particles of the starter drive teeth or flexplate teeth. Check the starter drive gear and flexplate for wear.

Flywheel, starter motor gear teeth. If the starter motor was ever replaced the metal could be from the stripped gear on the old one.

make sure none of the bolts in the front of the trans or behind the flywheel have come loose --- i have seen loose bolts before rubbing against the flywheel or the torque converter

it could be your flywheel rubbing or your starter could be missing just enough too. but if you don't have any problems that are noticed and you have the money than replace parts and move forward...............good luck.
