Recently rebuilt stock tranny for now. T56 once this one blows.

I twisted the output shaft in my stock tranny. I had a stock tranny rebuilt by Liberty Transmissions and had the internals shot peened, heat stress relieved and cryo treated. I only have a few hundred miles on it so I really can't report on the experiment. That was cheaper than the T56 route. If this breaks, I will go that route...but it looks like a it could be expensive. I also have the stock diff. I'll probably replace it with a S4 TII rear end when it breaks.

Great work.. that car is beautiful

warwickben 02-20-2009 05:47 PM

wow. this is the reason i would never send a car out to get this type of work done. well let me rephrase that. there isnt any one in mass that i would trust to do some thing liek this to my car. i wouldnt want my car half way across the country having this type of work done. you lucked out that you have some one thats good and close by.

Hey, David... Good to see you over here. You should go to DGRR this year. I'm going down with several others from NJ area and bringing my wife. Phil is bringing his turbo 20b and I'm bringing the 20b NA. I expect there might be 4-5 20b's this year!

Hi Gordon! I'm planning on being there, if the car is ready. Should be but I thought that the last few years also. I have marked off the weekend and Jesus knows about it so we'll see.

gmonsen 02-22-2009 10:56 AM

Great, but you don't need a wingman. You'll be fine! I think there will be about 4 other 20b's there. Once done, they are "normal" cars... ;)

What I meant was he knows I want to attend and it is up to him to get the car done.

wow, talk about an epic ordeal.

War Eagle 02-27-2009 07:45 AM

Jesus called me last night and indicated he'll be done with the car no later than next Tuesday.

Make's me glad I do my own work. Good Luck with this new guy David.

On a side note you may want to consider the Jimlab ford diff conversion as well.

Also, if you are in need of larger oil coolers PM me.:001_005:

Damn, those oil coolers are huge! Thought my Gotham setup was pretty big but not next to those.

I am going down to Orlando on Thursday to pick up the car. Jesus has an alternator issue and it was due back from the repair shop yesterday so I deferred going down then. Thought giving Jesus the extra day to ensure everything is okay was a good idea.
