I seem to have decent luck finding cheap stock transmissions, so I may do that for now, until I can get a good built one. Wont try to race it. I just want to be able to drive the truck at least instead of letting it sit in the driveway or just sitting on jack stands.

The other thing I thought of is learning to rebuild these and getting everything cryo treated so I dont have to worry about the hard parts. I am not running any power adders just yet, so that it may hold out for more than 200 miles..
