ive ot a 81 burb. i curently has a 350 in it.. which will be comin out so a 454cn be dropped down in it.. i have my front and rear axles lined out.. two one ton front axles.. its gonna have 4 wheel steerig thanks to a custom set upwhich a local hydro shop is building.. what im interested in knowing is what tranny is gonnahold up good in this unit. im not sure of gears in the rear as of yet.. possbley 4 10's ro a ll lower not sure yet.. im gonna be running 38 on this unit with a lot o sheet metal gone.. fron fender wells and from the top... any sugsion on tranny ad transfer case would be greatly apperciated. im not a newbie to the world f wheelin just the first chevy wheeler ever in the dive way.

I'd look for a TH400 and a NP205. They are difficult to find mated together, but Offroad Design (http://www.offroaddesign.com/) sells the input gear to convert a 205 to accecpt a TH400, or Advanced Adapters has different tail shafts. A TH350 might hold up, depending on your driving style, but I think the 400 will be better suited behind the 454. Post Pics when you get the rear steer going.

rodzilla speaketh the truth!;)

since you never said(I think), you could opt for a nv4500 or even 5600. They seem to be popular and I think will mount to the np205. If you have a little money and would like overdrive to run taller gears You can build a 700r4 to be as strong as a 400. If your running factory fuel injection off of a later truck you can hook up a superstrong 4L80e, or there is someway to jimmy rig it, but I am not sure how. Now Ill let these guys flame my ass for being a stupid newbie, but I dont care cause I got em first :flipoff2: :flipoff2: .

Look forward to seeing some pics when your project is completed. I'm planning on dropping in a 454 in my 89 when I get the funds! :smokin:
