Performance transmission rebuild...any tips???
Planning on doing a whole bunch of work to the engine in the off season (heads, cam, etc) and since I'm pulling it out of the car, it kinda makes sense to get the tranny freshened up and ready for some more ponies...I have a shift kit already and will be going to a 2400 stall converter...but apart from replacing seals, what other key tranny components should I look to replace (I'm staying with 3.07 gears)
:cheers:

Since you are talking about 350chp or so I think heavy duty clutches and maybe a high output pump would be in order along with whatever other components will be taking the stress.
Though it isn't essential with a 12" 2,400rpm TC, you might consider a cooler too.
