This is the truth. Building a transmission is art.
I strongly reccomend not trying to cheap your way out of a driveline. People typically overbuild engines (Forged/billet stuff for why HU pistons can handle no sweat) and ignore driveline.
If anyone lives on long island, I can reccomend an excellent trasmission place that works for peanuts ($900 got me a removed, R&R transmission from a guy that owns 7 and 8 second cars. Took an *** kicking behind the 383 LT1 for a while). Islip Transmissions. I've seen some crazy stuff roll in and out of there, but apparently the guy is not interested in being rich or already is. He just wants to read the newspaper and have his guys build transmissions in the back. Go figure. Excellent guy. Fully intend on having him rebuild my trans next winter. That transmission was impressive.
Other than that, think FLP
