Hey guys,
I have been lurking through your boards and have been trying to learn everything that I need to before I start buying parts for my swap. I was wondering if anybody has had luck with Monster transmissions? I have a tired old 305, an NP208, and a 7R400. My transmission currently leaks and slips. She has to go. Anyways, I am not sure if I am going to be able to swap out the 305 this summer or not. I am looking at 5.3s or maybe even a 6.0. Hoping to find a nice dropout with the harness modified and ecu flashed. Do you think that a monster transmission is a good idea? Will it be able to hold up if I do throw a 6.0 in front of her? I might run the monster behind the 305 for a while until I am ready. So I would like to stay with a 7R400. Can I trust them not to go overkill if I call them and let them know my requirements? I have no knowledge of which torque converter, or how they differ from each other. I am very new to wrenching on cars, but I have been learning as much as I can and stocking up on tools. I love this old square body Chevrolet, and any advice is greatly appreciated.
