Depends on who builds it and what types/quality of part they use.

you'd be better off getting a new one that comes built for between 2.5 and 3k

A crate trans is recommended since you will get a better warranty.

well a 5 pinion rear planet will be something you will def want and also the beast sunshell they are much stronger parts. A TC is a must but just bout everything i stated above is what you will need to have a stronger and longer lasting tranny.
