not pushing a whole lot of power(5.3 on 12lbs) but my converter slip is only 7% at the end of the 1/4 with a Yank PT3600. I'm a big fan of dave's converters...

I have a Yank PT 3200. It's really good except the lockup sucks if I had to do it again I will get the multi disc version
A Multi Disc is almost a mandatory if your going to lock it up under boost. I feel bad for that converter...

I figured that out last year and so I dont lock it under any sort of load, and have it unlock pretty easily. However slip is relatively low at the top of the gear, so its still a great torque converter, just doesnt like to be locked.

Height from the valley cover to the top of the intake near the back is around 12" best I can tell.

I got everything put back together today and redid the drain because it was leaking slightly. And hopefully fixed leaks on the tcase output and oil cooler feed block. Of course when I finish it starts raining so the test drive has to wait!

The only way I could fit the cutout was down since there is just so little room in there. Not thrilled about it but dont plan on lowering the truck any further.

I got rid of the coolant lines going to the heater core. I plan to take the hvac stuff under the dash out, just didnt feel like it today.
