I am finally going to do some updates/improvements to my 162K mile 2001 Lightning. I am going to install a used engine I bought a while back, it has nearly 100K miles but it has Trickflow heads with only 2K miles on them. (This is a good running motor, well maintained, from a buddies HD truck that was attacked by a large pole that distroyed his truck from the B pillar back.)
Since I am changing the engine, and my trans is getting tired, I want to install a new (rebuilt) trans. But, where to get one?
The HD motor with the Trickflow heads and stock cams made 405Hp and 474 ft-lbs at Powertrain Dynamics in Huntington Beach, CA after being tuned. It has a 2.7 blower pulley and stock lower pulley, ported blower, and larger injectors. I will be going back to a stock blower pulley and stock injectors and detuning as I use my truck for towing. Power will be more like 360Hp and 410 ft-lbs. (My truck was tuned by Paul's HP in Jackson, MI and made 323HP and 363 Ft-lbs when it had 101K miles on it.)
So, given all the above and knowing I want durability and reliability for towing, where do I get a 4R100 to meet my needs without spending a fortune?
Thanks, all advise will be appreciated.
