I just ordered my stall from Yank. Dave recommended SS4000 STR 2.6. This will hit the tires real good

Also got a new flexplate from GM part number 12580709. I thought I should replace it also while I am doing all this work. I have Prothane motor mounts to put in before the new tranny arrives. I also have to get my LCA relocation brackets welded on.

Damn, 7-10 days? Ive been waiting on mine for 3 weeks+, but I got the level 5, and they said it took a while for all the parts to be treated, and machined. Oh well still waiting on my converter anyway.

I dont think you would want it. The bolt holes have cracks.

Why not the TCI flexplate? The SS4000 is a very nice stall, same one I ran. If you plan on N20, maybe consider the SS4000E?

Should give Rodney at RPM a call, he is in Anderson, IN. I had a $3771 Rossler take a dump, so I had Rodney go throgh it. Much cheaper and very nicely built.
