like he said. a gm goodwrench rebuilt 700r4 with a 2400 stall converter, and a tranny cooler. wanna get the transgo shift kit in too sometime, but its not necessary right now. i got the whole setup (minus the shift kit) with 15k on it from dialed_in for 250 bucks...cant turn that down.

Sound like we got a good crew brewin up! Now it's my turn for some help. I Have everything I need now for my rear end swap.
I hope to get the housing painted on Sat while I'm at work. I got the speedo gears for the tranny, correct vss (thanks Adam), brake shoes, drum brake kit, wheel cylinders, ect. And today I had the drums turned at work. I also have the flowmaster exhaust to get in while the rear is out. Guess while the exhaust is off I should gut the cat (possible weld a striaght tube inside the cat?). I mainly need a garage and someone who knows what they are doing (Mike?). But anyone else want to join in on the fun? Hopefully I/we can get it done on sunday. If you can't come help, anybody got suggestions or tips?
Anybody know where my jackstands are?

anyone have access to a drive-on lift...while the welder is out i could use my sfcs welded on. Id be more then happy to assist in the rear swap. I got plenty of tools and i got enough know-how to assist. If anyone has a garage...i mean i got plenty of parts to put in but its just a pain out in the cold on the ground. Let me know guys. Anyone got a welder...?

Adam, if you send me a PM with your address and phone #, we can arrange a time. I will need the jackstands to do my rear end/exhaust swap. But it looks like the weather is still not cooperating with me.

Yeah, Adams car looks like it has airshocks in the rear, but there coilovers. All that hieght comes from those HUGE rear tires.
