built transmissions
 

so ive been looking at built trannys and its confusing:s:.... which one do i need best bang for the buck? i only plan on making 650-700hp i dont really want to build the bottom end so some help for experienced bombers would be great

2004LB7 has helped me but i need some more in depth details and options thanks!

im really looking at this they supposedly use the same clutches as sun coast

You planning on building the trans yourself or buying a built one to just put in?

best bet...zf6 the bi**h. any Allison with a shift kit billet torque converter and input shaft and red eagle highenergy clutches will do and a auxillary cooler...glad to see your truck is up and running again:c:

sorry i havent been on in so long had some crazy stuff going on and im probably going to ZF6 it or build the allison my self go check out my other thread for the updates!

If you just plan on rebuilding it, ie replacing clutches the most mechanicaly inclined people with out any specialized tools can do it. If you want to "build" it then that is a task for the pros. There is a lot more to making an allison hold more HP then clutchs. There is a bunch of trade secrets too.

you should contact Mike L or Big Dipper and discuss what you want and they can lead you in the right direction.

i cant get in touch with them and i talked to suncoast and alligator they both want almost 6K for a built trans for my needs which is ridicules for me to spend right now id even go for a used built trans for a decent price before mine dies lol let me get the trans outta your 04 haha

I know Big Dipper is real busy and doesn't normally answer phone calls but i have called Mike L more then once and he was quite helpful. When i spoke to him about building my transmission to hold about 6 or 7 hounded HP he told me it would be a little over $5k

I would try calling Mike L or emailing Big Dipper again and get another quote. It is possible that it was closer $6k because of freight

Good luck Jason

im just going to save my money up and try to get it built this summer

Good plan. I think you will beat me on that upgrade.

it might not be this summer i do have to fix the Tcase i just hope it dosent die before i can build it haha but i did get a sponsor so that may play to my advantage haha go check out my thread in show and tell
