Transmission for 390
« on: January 30, 2016, 08:41:13 PM »
Need some opinions. What should I do for a transmission? Right now I have a stock 390 but I don't plan on keeping it stock. Plan on building a 400 to 500 horsepower motor. I have a stock c6 that could be rebuilt. but idk if I should rebuild it with a shift kit, or go ahead and buy a brand new transmission like a street fighter. Also I would have the c6 rebuilt by a local tranny shop. They quoted me with like 800 bucks for a stock rebuild.

What do you guys think would give me the most bang for my buck?

Another thing is torque converter.

$800 for a stock rebuild? 
I spent less than that making a fairly bulletproof full roller (and that was buying all the parts pre-made, a thrifty fella with a lathe could do it for half that)
