Project SicMonte

[SicMonte]

Update:

the LT1 T56 I was looking at on craigslist turned out to be a real project trans. I had a local T56 guru (rkt56.com) come out with me to inspect the trans. It was a decent unit but needed 3 gears and a bunch of synchro's so it wasn't worth the money to build it up correctlly. It would have been about $2200 to get it correct and for that much I might as well and save some more and buy the T56 Magnum.

Soooo...in the mean time, while I am saving up for the Magnum, I decided to have my two busted 200r4's dissected and built into one super trans. I want my car back on the road for this season so I can race it!!!



Both 200r4's will be taken apart and inspected to see what in the H E L L happend to them. The guy will then see if anything is salvagable (billet servo hopefuly!!) and will make one good trans out of the two cores. I will be getting a billet drum along with hardend input/output shafts...some type of "new" blue bands (they are supposed to be the latest and greatest thing!)...a bitchin shift kit...and I will use Tom Farrington's cool trans pan to top it off. I also got a hugexhuge trans cooler with a fan so this baby will not overheat!!! I had the trans pan drilled and tapped for a trans temp guage.

Pics to follow.

I plan to have this done soon so I can participate in the June 2 event of the National Street Tire Challenge.
