A999 as a street/strip trans.

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.

In my limited experience the 999 with lockup torque converter
Is the strongest versions ever made of these trans. They usually have the low gear set, 4 pinion steel planetaries, bigger roller clutch
That is riveted in, and other small improvements over earlier versions. They are plentiful in the wrecking yards, but people are afraid of them because of the lockup feature.
