Sounds like what I'm looking for. Where did you have it built and roughly what did it run you? Was it a crate tranny ready to go?[/QUOTE
I wrote up and photo documented my install here. A search of my posts will bring up the link. My install is slightly different than some others who have well-written, well-documented installs. I used a bellhousing to adapt the transmision to my small block Moar, shile others typically have used an adapter plate to mount them.
I invested nearly a grand in a well built Precision of New Hampton - 3000 rpm stall, 3 carbon fiber lock-up disc torque converter. Ask for Milt if you go this route. It is worth every penny.
The Extreme Automatics Stage 2 transmission and adapter ring was $2200, plus just under $400 for the SFI Reid bellhousing. I modified the torsion bar and fabricated the transmission mount. I also had a Strange chrome moly drive shaft made with 1350 u-joints and forged flanges. You will also need a 10 inch longer speedometer cable.
If you are predominantly a drag racer, skip the lock-up feature as it does add reciprocating weight, which takes hp to spin. it will lower your torque converter costs too.
Lonnie, the owner/ builder of the Extreme Automatics is a great man to work with in all regards. Highly recommended.
