So like many my rebuild project started off to be a pretty much stock rebuild and after a lot of research it is steadily growing in scope. The original plan has been to replace all electrics, Rekit it with BW high energy frictions and bands, stock steels, bonded pistons, all bushings and sprags, rollerize the rear and install an HD2 VB kit. I took the transmission bench class and am doing disassembly and parts inspection according to the McCormick rebuild manual.
This trans is going behind a Texas speed prepped Salvage yard 6.0 LQ. The motor and trans will be controlled by a Fitech "Retro" stand alone. Both will be installed in a 4100 lb cruzer Porterbuilt slammed P-10.
The goal is to end up with a tough 80E that don't knock my coffee off the console when it shifts and be drivable.
TSP recommends a 3000 rpm converter. Their best guess is 500-600 hp with the cam they specified.
Major disassembly is complete, the case have been steam cleaned ,closely inspected and 2 coats of ppg gm1 silver lg. As per the McCormick book sub assemblies disassembly has started from the front parts going deeper in from there.
