Built,Blown,Intercooled,Dodge Ram $5500
This is about what it cost for JUST the transmission,between the cost of the Trans,Shipping,Core charge,converter,electronic controller,4l80e conversion kit,shortening the driveshaft,hd trans mount,trans cooler,+ installation of trans, it cost more then what i'm asking for the whole truck.Most people don't realize the cost to build a vehicle like this.
Which reminds me.
Check out( Hughes Performance ) web site to see what this trans is all about,scroll over Transmissions + click on the 4l80e at the bottom of the drop down menu
They feel the 4l80e is the best/strongest overdrive trans going + their base street/strip is rated for 850 hp with their hd rated at 1000 hp + go up from there,(not sure if mine is the base or the hd) either way it shouldn't be breaking any time soon.
I am also considering "Possibly"parting the truck out ,tho prefer to sell it whole,it would be a shame to dismantle all this work,and it all works so well together.
But the thought of this drivetrain in an A-body also kinda makes my loins quiver :D
Going by the above dyno sheets.
Compare the #'s + do the math it should now be making about 610 hp + 640 torque possibly more because the t-trim is just coming into it's best operating range so may be making more power per lb of boost then it was turned way down low.This motor in an A-body should be an easy 10 second car on pump gas,with streetable manners just as it sits,without turning up the power at all.
The 7lb run was with a 31 tooth pulley
The 9lb run was with a 30 tooth pulley + it now has a 28 tooth on it.
E-bay has 27,26 + 25 tooth pulleys for sale,+ maybe even smaller (I'd have to look again) also different lower pulleys.
Keep in mind this is a not very stressed , motor turning only 4700 rpm + a low stressed supercharger only half way into it's operating range of 26lbs of boost . So nothing is operating on the ragged edge + ready to blow at any time,it should be a long time reliable setup,it has about 20k mi on it now,has never been to the track,+ has had full synthetic in it since built.
If someone is just interested in the motor i would Consider selling the complete motor,supercharger, aftercooler,all the msd,ignition stuff, F.A.S.T computer system,(that was $2500 itself ) fuel injectors (They were about $750)fuel rails,fuel press regulator.etc. pretty much everything needed to make the switch and turn your vehicle into a fuel injected torque monster for $4500
If anybody is interested in the trans with controller + conversion kit etc. let me know.
Same if interested in the truck as a roller.
I'm not sure i want to take the time to do this but if i have enough interest i will consider it.
