My 1984' LSC has to have a tranny rebuild while my 1990 need to have a five speed swap. The 84' can not move but the 90' moves but gets hot. I have asked my guy who works on my car when needed and he said he could do my 84' rebuild for $999. He did not include his 25% increase to make some money on this. Instead he said he would charge me the same. What he pays. I pay! So, im thinking 1k isn't bad and includes my 2400 stall. But do I really want a 2400. I want to know where my rpm s will be at 70mph.
I know some of you have installed stalls. Most I have seen went with 3k stall. In which I want this to be a highway car but have more down low at a stop. Bcoz we all know 84' only have 140hp. But im happy with that. Its a fine line. Im looking for maximum get up. But more on the end of highway driving!
Also, instead of messing with my 84' I could be shifting gears in my 90'. Which I have heard no bad cooments for anyone who has had one installed. But its going to cost me alot more. I could get it rebuilt for the same price maybe even cheaper. But the install would be up there. . . So, instead of just getting the five spead of my dreams. Here is what im thinking!
1984
Tranny Rebuild ~ 799
2400 Stall
Labor ~ 3.5hrs
Tranny Cooler ~ $50
1990
180 stat ~ $$$
New Radiator Hoses ~ Bought
Brake Booster ~ $$$
190 Fuel Pump ~ $90
Two vehicals running good. Both cars are happy. Although I still need to order a cowl hood and fiberglass fenders. Bcoz my old ones off my 90' will be going to my 84'. Hood and drivers fender. Now I need a front header. Thats what my summer plans look like. Any comments would be great. The tranny rebuild should start in the next week or two. . .
