Welcome to the board man, what bolt-ons do you have? While your at it with the tranny throw in a cooler, shift-kit, and a 3000+ stall converter, you wont regret it!

^^^ Yea i have a 3000 stall converter waiting to go on and i was gonna do the shift kit as well, cuz it looks like the tranny is gonna be ripped apart, then again since i'm spending the money i'm considering just biting the bullet and buyin a built up tranny, just heard stories about the electronics not working well when the trannys are swapped...
As far as bolt ons go i have a WS-6 intake bottom, MTI air lid, smooth bellows, Granatelli MAF, throttle body bypass done, bbk 80MM, LM catback, 160 thermo, had HPP3 installed but i took that off, heard bad stuff about it...

Sounds like your mods are good man, these trannys can handle around 400rwhp w/the converter, shift-kit, and cooler, just make sure to get that cooler man

Welcome to the site. Transmission coolers are available at pretty much any auto parts store, but these guys on the site can tell you if there is a better brand to buy.
