build it or buy it?
 

Gotta start building up the weakest link and the most expensive link unfortunately. I'm runnin an automatic 47RE tranny. Should I build it up or get an already built one eventually? What do yall rekin is the cheapest route. If building my stock one up would be the way to go what all should I get?

tranny
 

I got quoted at 5500 bucks for a built tranny I about chit!!thinkin 5 speed now

you could pick up a nv4500 5 spd for about 1400 with warranty, + core (about 600) :jump:

is that trans converter and all installed? where you located?

Yes not installed though. Shipped. And dayton ohio

Im shootin for 500 HP. Will I be ok with high performance valve body and a triple disc TQ converter? Or would i need the whole shabang?:yeah:

Goerend transmissions hands down... Starts around 3500 and goes up from there.

Nv4500 with a good clutch aint bad just be careful of the weak 3rd gear but it can take a beating

I can get a full built trans with billet input triple disc pan etc installed and first service for that or less.

DTT has a pretty good deal for thier master kit, shift kit, and TQ conv. Might just have to start buyin one part at a time.:dang:

honestly I would go with suncoast. if your going to do that

suncoast is good stuff... if u dont mind wasting money to have the best name. check out rdp diesel there in ohio. also DTT makes good stuff a friend of mine has one of there trans and it lives great behind 612 hp. he also built the trans himself with there kit, triple disk, billet input and output and shift kit. also rdp quoted me 4100 pulled.. rebuilt and installed. includes billet input a triple disk and a VB.

Just talked to DTT and they quoted me a build it myself kit with everything I need:jump:ed for 2300 bucks

What company do you get this 5 speed from? is it a reman? :c:
