Oh wow i didnt know they built whole trannys. Im lovin their tc and valve bodys but didnt know they had entire trannys. Thanks darin i'll look into them, i appreciate it. If their trannys are as good as their tc that everyone talks about its definetly worth a call and a looksy.

RacerX makes stage builds, So you tell them what hp you are lookin for and they will build you a tranny that should be able to hold that. Either way you go will be good...

There was a 93 idi F350 4x4 5 spd. for sale on craigslist here a couple days ago for 1300 obo, or parting out if didn't sell. 300 bucks for the d60, couple hundred for the 5 spd. It has been wrecked, but still driveable. If I would have had some extra cash laying around I'd have that truck. Come up and get it blake!
