Prob a TH400 tranny, and gonna start with just some basic pump mods (and prob injectors) and see how it does. I'm shooting for 12s, and the thing is light as heck!

If you change the paint or body at all I will kick you in the nads. That thing is f'n sweet. Good find.

It's gonna get painted a light yellow, and get some smaller side mirrors and that's it for the exterior. We are actually gonna try to match a faded pale yellow just with a good finish to it if that makes sense.

Well, obviously new tires and rims:D

Go with an OD tranny, the 47RH would be just about as simple to install as a 400 and give you that extra gear. If you are gonna drag it or drive it you'll need it!
