If you plan to go AWD - you may want to jump over to the syty forum to pick up some pointers

AWD & Manual Tranny don't last long. So far the 4l80e has lasted the longest. Don't ever consider a 700rr as it can barely hold 300hp

Also being AWD you have to consider tires heights. If you opt for different height you have to play with the gears front and rear so you don't smoke the transfer case.

?? didn't know that Art Morrison had a design for the AWD chassis.

If you go AWD - make sure you use ladder bars in the rear if you want traction at the strip as this seems to be the only combo that actually works.


Good luck with the project and i can't wait to see pics
