The tranny is coming back out 
I'm not sure what I did to damage it? I used a heavy duty one but not sure of the name. I had to damage it on the install.
Hey did I mention the car rip's!!! It's a LQ9 I bought from Jody with his mods, heads, cam, etc. I put it into my 69 firebird. Fun as heck to drive and it just rip's!!1  |
I don't remember seeing any dyno numbers................
It should make 525+ crank hp, so maybe 420-450 rwhp, maybe a bit more depending on dyno type. I felt it was a great motor for me on a track car, especially being a fairly low dollar effort. I hope you're happy with it.
