Re: 1949 resto mod new project

As a GM dealership technician, I recommend you don't use the 8 speed. Its a very problematic transmission. There's a lot of issues with the torque converters, stator supports, and the valve bodies. I also don't care for the shifting when you compare it to the 6 speeds or even the newer 10 speeds. These trucks are so light, I don't think you can go wrong with the older 4 speed autos. The '52 I'm currently building is getting a 4L60e.
