I'm going to need to put mine through an upgrade program here sometime. who's the names for good ford tranny builders?

 

suncoast. But remember they are good till around 650 - 700 hp stock

 

Talk to Ellerton, seems that his does a pretty good job in the over 1000hp area.

 

he runs a nadp

 

I've got suspisions that this 12v will be over that number. well heres hoping.

 

See the name John Wood from the Socal area alot in all the diesel mags.

 

Going to pull the 6.0L? I would see what a stock transmission will take prior to buying a new transmission. You can only use it as a "core anyways", and I hate giving them a "core" but is a good working transmission. Heard that the stock diesel ford converter works pretty decent behind a cummins. Might stall abit higher but your running a 12v

Curious, what you doing to the 12v engine?

 

to the 12v. some stuff and stuff......

the 6.0L is on warrantee until next sept anyways. so I won't probably monkey with that until then. but I'll get the big diffs and 37s under it here right away/ anyhow. my rims should be shipping out next week sometime.

 

but I don't want this truck to be "down" on failure maintenance. or down at all for extended periods of time. I'm hoping to avoid that from now on. just 1 thing at a time. and back on the road. and I'd rather just slap a built tranny in when I swap the engine to be done with it.

 

This guy right here is the cream of the crop for Ford trannies.

I saw it the other day, and I want a 7.5LSD camshaft for my 12v. Did you send you head out west? You going with 12v rods or billet stuff?
