2nd Gen 12valve Ideas
Hey guys, i have been saving up for a while and i am getting quite close to having around 20,000 to throw at a 12v setup to put into my 61' chevy pickup to make a ratrod/sleeper out of it. I am wanting to build it up as much as i can now, but i am planning on continuing to add untill i hit the 800-900 horse range. Just need some ideas on what things to do now while i have big money such as tranny, clutch or torque converter, injector pump etc. Im a Duramax guy but way to lazy to fight that battle with a old truck.
Thanks
Thanks

If I were going to dump a ton of money into a transmission and didn't want to build it myself, I'd call Suncoast. Spend some jack on the full billet unit and have it installed by a local Suncoast authorized tech and I defy you to break it in a streetable truck. If you break that thing within a year (good luck), they'll replace it for free, even if you use it for competition. While you've got the money, if you want big power, it's a no-brainer that you'll want a 180-215hp p7100 injection pump, lines, case, etc. The 215s make more from the factory, but around here the 180s are preferred for tuning.
Assuming you already have a 6BT to start your build and considering your ultimate goal, that's where I'd put my priorities.
