Re: Project Underfunded / next phase - LSx carb'd to LSx efi

Local trans shop. Was supposed to be built by the owner but my guess is he had one of his guys do it. I don't have anything against the 200-4r and would have probably bought another one from either Art Carr or TCI to replace the one I have. The trans was well out of warranty when the builder replaced a noisy torque convertor. I felt I pretty much used up my "free pass" when he gave me the convertor. He's a long way away from my house...and just didn't want to continue working with him. Not because he did anything wrong...just wasn't the builder I was looking for.

The truck has sort of taken a different direction...and burned thru some cash along the way. But it was fun! And still will be....but now it'll be a little more driver friendly, especially as it gets quicker.
