build your rearend my g80 blew up about 6 hours after my 3k stall was installed so i would prob throw a trutrack or something in that parts list but some people have had good luck with them i know when mine broke it took a axle with it but luckly i had a extra set of axles

 

I started heavily modifying my engine(relatively speaking) when it had 100,000 miles. I have no other form of transportation. When my **** breaks, I ride a bicycle.

With that said I've had my truck cammed for 2 years. I've driven my truck 700 miles in a day, taken it to the track, and drive it everywhere I go without hesitation.

As long as you go with quality stuff there is nothing to worry about.

 

Quality stuff with proper installation and maintenance...if you get aftermarket valve springs be sure to let the engine heat up before romping on it, or you could break a spring.

 

The mods i have- setup is great ive drove about 9k this summer since the swap (spring time)! took it to the track ran it on somewhat of slicks.... (autocross tires) I was driving it everyday as a DD until i got a company vehicle. The only thing i have noticed is it take a little bit to get used to the colder weather... chugs different when you start it up when its cold. But thats all the tune i have the idle set lower than normal (650) IMA Get a wideband and watch the A/F mine was off by a point and if i didnt catch it- it probably would have done some damage

 

Its good to hear all this positive feedback. I will have someone that is very mechanically inclined helping me and I will let Wheatley tune it. As for the converter, I'm not sure if anyone makes them. Would a Yank or PI be heavy duty enough? The rearend, I'm not sure if it's a 12 or 14 bolt, guess I need to look at it.

 

i had the Yank TT3000,, pretty tight converter but the turbo pushed it hard.. i towed with it and everything.. Broke the output shaft on the trans twice and the converter never gave me any trouble...

Dont ask about the 8 converters i had before the yank..
