Needless to say, the new transmission was working very well.

So the transmission was finally done, it just needed a mount and a shifter. Time to give her a bath, over 4 months of dust really looked rough.

Finally ready to go on the ground. You can see my not so great flex fuel solution. I really need to clean it up but it works for now.

I opted for the billet 1350 input yoke. This ended up being one of the longer wait items with a 6-8 week wait.

The transmission is in! I had to R&R the new transmission 5-6 times test fitting, measuring, and making clearance but it was finally in the car after months of modification and some fabrication work.

She's in, although temporarily. A shifter is going to be a tough one to solve.

Old clutch, ACT Xtreme with a RAM Sintered iron friction plate. It held really well but it wasn't the ideal street setup.

Test mocking, something doesn't add up. This ended up being the beginning of a long struggle to get this transmission bolted up to the engine. It was by no means a bolt-on affair. The bellhousing had to be modified, the transmission had to be cut and ground, and a ton of custom fabrication work went into getting this together. After about 4 months, I had a driving car though with a significantly improved transmission!

This transmission should hold 700lb-ft of torque and still cruise on the highway.

A big box for a stout transmission. A T56 Magnum! I had contemplated going to a sequential or a clutch assisted GForce but neither would be as street friendly so this seemed like the best choice to me.

Parts starting to arrive for the transmission upgrade. A SFI bellhousing instead of my previous separate scattershield and bellhousing, it's now combined and a lot easier to remove if necessary.

Fresh off the trailer Wednesday afternoon, I go out for a very small pull before a car wash and break my transmission. I baby shifted 1st at 3K, hit second and did a pull for second gear only and the transmission sounded like a rock crusher. It was done.
