Clev,

Dot forget I am removing the THM-400 automatic transmission that weighs 134 lbs without torque converter and fluid.

This will be replaced with a T10 transmission. I actually have 2 T10's, 1-3 speed and 1-4 speed. The 3 speed is almost brand new with only a few thousand miles on it. The 4 speed is unknown condition and will be gone through and parts replaced if needed. What do you guys think we should use? 3 Speed or 4 Speed? We also have 2 sets of rear end gears for the car, We believe 4.11's and 3.36's. The 4 speed weighs about 70lbs dry. Thats about half the weight of the THM400.

Were very happy that we will be less then the weight of the car with all the electronic components. We hope to balance the car for optimal weight distribution.

-Adam
