It's a SilverFox transmission. He comes highly recommended. The transmission is a 4R70W with a man v/b w/brake and I'm going to chance a lock-up setup. I've been a little indecisive on a few things but this is the latest. Dan has put up with it thus far with no complaints!
As for the lifters (Still probably going with FMS), I decided to save the money and spend it on the trans/converter and get back to the lifters, girdle, valve covers etc. and stuff later.
So, are you staying safe over there bro?
