SO I decided to get the engine built. Going 426. It will be specifically built for a boosted application. Below are the items check list. Anyone see anything I may have missed. I wanted to get the heads completely built, but that pushed my budget way out. Pulling the motor Nov 1st and hope to have it complete by Dec 1st. But not holding my breath on that one.

Dam there’s not much you don’t do yourself is there? One day I will attempt a trans rebuild but it is a little intimidating, almost looks like a manual might not be as bad.
The TR3650 looks like a mess but its pretty easy to at least open up. The worst part is all the forks/detent pellets/pins. My least favorite part is that the bellhousing is part of the trans so it makes it heave/awkward to move around.
So far, I should have enough parts in the second trans to make 1 good unit. I will need new syncro rings. There was a lot of metal glitter in the fluid. The bearings are all smooth. I need to inspect all of the gear teeth still. (one bad thing is the cluster gear with the broken tooth in the pic).
Bad ass! From what I hear a manual is much easier to do than an auto. Still a big feat, though. Good luck with the process.

A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again.
