I got some new toys this weekend. These will be going in by the end of the week if everything turns out as planned.

rebuilt 80e, 258mm 3-32k circle d along with the flexpate.


After the install of these, the cam/blower will be going on!

Who rebuilt the 80? I've never seen anybody wire-wheel the case before to clean it up.

Congrats on the step up. I should've done it a couple of years ago.

A guy by the name of Rusty. out of the houston area. He was recommended to me be Matt "Tootall". He was great to deal with and was a gearhead himself! Did this all at a very reasonable price.

That's cool. I was hoping you didn't buy it used somewhere as "rebuilt" only to find out later on that it wasn't. Seems like alot of shady deals(scams) have been going on everywhere lately. Obviously this is not the case here. Get it installed & start beating on it!!

i thought about going that route but after some debating I wanted to ensure I had a properly working/rebuilt tranny when i throw the blower on. The transmission is actually Matts old one.

I cannot wait until the install! Finally after all waiting and planning and debating and so much of a change of mind i'm finally set to go! I will definitely be posting up some more pics and videos. I will also head down to Nelson performance in SA to she what she does on the rollers after all is complete!!


EDIT: completion date should be at the end of summer
