A999 as a street/strip trans.

Watch your terminology here. The pumps are all the same, it is the stator that is different. There are two halves to the pump assembly.
The one half is the stator. The side with the rotors is the pump.
Got it, I think.
Trust me if the 999 comes through, I'm sure I will be pestering you with pictures before we cut anything!!!
Only reason I asked if it had to be slant 6 or not is I am looking at a few "core" transmissions Wednesday that are like 4 hours away. I want to get at least one as a backup if the 999 falls through. they are V8 transmissions and I wondered if one of those would work is all.
