What Matt said you old fool.
You people think I did no ****ing research on any of this? Im just spinning the wheel and hoping for the best?
Jesus H Christ...
I talked to Fparts and Contemp Corvette about selling me the trans itself, and they do not seperate the engine and trans.
Its not a matter of being "cheap" its a matter of budget. I dont feel like pouring every dime I have into this car, but I want to build a solid vehicle without blowing cash. Its called a budget, and I want to stick to it.
My whole outlook on the trans changed when I got the engine. I guess that people found 1 trillion dollars worth of valuable materials inside LS1's, so thier prices have gone up a decent amount, and unless I got something I had to rebuild myself, buy a junked car, or get something I didnt want, pricing was all over the map.
I thank the guys over at SSP for giving me two offers on engines and dealing with them was fantastic. I only wish I acted faster on the first offer, but I think for the little bit more money I spent, I got a better deal.
Now that the engine will produce more power then factory, Im trying to look at the best way to approach the trans. Now its not making an amazing amount of power, say 500hp+ to the wheels.
The trans guy has gotten back to me
