It's a TransGo SK 4L60E Shift Kit. It's supposed to help clear up some of the issues with the trans. Wasn't that bad of an install if that's all you do. Has very detailed instructions in the kit and there tech line was very helpful when I called with questions. Kim |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
Nice.
What kind of horsepower are you going to be putting down? Did you do anything else to make sure that it can handle the load? |

The LS2 is rated at 390HP and 390TQ from the factory. This trans was the one that came with my engine and I wouldn't have touched it if it wasn't for the pump being broken. Kim |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
Back to where I wanted to be a couple weeks ago.
My brother was out today. Engine and trans finally in. Hopefully for the last time. I'll start adding accessories to it when I get the time. Kim |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
Wow Kim, that looks NICE!
The best part about putting the engine in for the last time is that it starts freeing up floor space and all of the boxes with parts in them slowly start to disappear. Are you matching the exterior paint to the color on the intake and valve covers?

My plan is to get them as close as possible. Chevy had a light metallic blue in the mid 60s that I like and may use. Kim |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
Just a couple of pics with it sitting on the ground. I'm hoping it will sit low enough when I get the body on it.

Re: My 57 Pro Street
oh it'll be plenty low, you can tell from where the body mounts sit in relation to the height of your frame rails.
Damn fine looking build

I hope you're right. It just seems a little high to me. All the sheet metal should bring it down some and the new front springs should settle some also. Kim |
