Remember this is a CLONE - it never had the 2004R it came with a N/A v6 and the little 200C 3 speed (which are in some redneck's Toyota mud truck now).

During the build I acquired a 4L60 which is a 700R4 - from the boneyard on 50% off day - normally trannys are $150 :lol:

Sell the trans for the money to get 200-4R.

Found a 9 inch at the boneyard yesterday - $100 Christmas present to myself. Took me about an hour and a half to get it out - a year to get it to fit in a G body!!! :) :)

stock truck oil pan

The stock truck oil pan does hang down some - prob not a good setup for a lowrider.

Tax refund = money for a race transmission!!!! I just finished putting in a built 700R4. No lockup function, mild stall. Hopefully this one will last. I haven't had a chance to go to the track yet, but I'll let everyone know if I get a new best time.

If he doesn't want to sell his, I can tell you I got mine for $55 including the gears that I picked out and the seal, bolt, metal clip and all that, all brand new from this guy on Ebay: ventura9652

Very good transaction
