ohhh nice ya ill check that out real quick.
the 65 has 5 planetaries
planetaries?
Planetaries are what actually make the gear changes. The rest is just clutches and apply pistons. It will mean you will have a strong set of gears in the transmission to handle more HP.
ohhh ok good. i guess i should probably upgrade my rear brake too huh? i have drum.
Why bother, ive seen sub 12 sec. 05 models with drum breaks.
The 2wd SS, the Vortec Maxx, and the 05 VHO came with drums.... :burnout:
If you are looking to make some HP get a trans that is built before you have to go back and do it again :twocents:
there's already a ton of info on this forum, do a search and ull be fine. its not nearly as hard as ud think, and dlh2006 helped me a lot when i was attempting my swap. looking back i think if i knew what i know now i could easily have done this swap on my own instead i paid someone to do it. post questions, but ull have ur answers somewhere in the matrix of the site. good luck and welcome! :thumb:
Maybe when we convert Billy's NBS to V8 we can document everything and sell a how-to manual.
