Wow this sucks, but the thing I can't believe is that you have not blown up your stockish tranny...

I've been looking at using this kit put together by scoggin dickey for my 5.3L block I recently acquired.

http://www.sdparts.com/product/KITSD...pgradeKit.aspx
Not too fancy, just some LQ9 rods and some forged pistons. I was going to use that kit, but several people told me not to use the speed pro pistons. I think I found a deal on some Mahle pistons for not much more. I have a set of 317 heads with yellow springs on them I think will get me right where I want to be with comp and flow pretty well. Should be a nice, stronger then stock replacement engine

The way everyones luck is going right now, the trans will probably fail the day after the engine is done.
