Changed the oil and bled the brakes. Then test drove. Car is no longer smoking so I assume everything that had built up in the junkyard motor is now cleared out. Car is feeling decently strong so I did a couple pulls to third gear. On the third pull right before I shifted into 3rd, the rear universal joint went full grenade mode. After walking back to work and getting my truck and trailer, spent 30 minutes using two ratchet straps to pull the car onto the trailer. So much for the "good deal" drive shaft I bought back in 2012, lol.
