So far I’ve got an aluminum knock off air gap intake, 1000cfm tb, 80lb injectors (I need to measure for spacers), walbro 450 pump, all new 6an lines, boost reference fuel pressure regulator, trans go reprogram kit, and Wideband o2. For the ecu I’ve decided to go with a megasquirt or a microsquirt. There’s a lot more safety’s then the hp tuners from what I can tell and if I decide to go to a 3 bar map later on stock ecu the map scaling would be horrible for drivability. For turbo I’ve got a whc1 layin around from what I’ve researched there good for 400whp and turbo kit I want to do a good ole richard holdener style kit😂 the truck is not pretty so I’m goin for the sleeper look

I FAR prefer my O/D and TCC to be completely automatic..... lest I forget to turn something off as I come to a stop.......

What's the point of having an automatic transmission, if it isn't automatic? If you were thinking about going that route, just do a manual swap as well. (NV4500 please.)

Are the magnum cranks drilled for a pilot bearing? I’ve been thinking of a standard swap but I don’t have the right break or clutch pedals if I could find some or a swap kit I would be interested in a nv4500 or a t56. I know super stick transmissions builds a good nv4500. I don’t know very much on the magnum stuff I grew up on the old la’s and bb and rb’s

I don't know if they are all drilled or not.... Get a parts donor truck. Get the pedals and such from it.

Would it be possible to put an older a-833 4 speed or a truck top loader 4 speed behind a magnum I know they have the crank sensor on the bell housing could the older bell housing be modified to work and if so what flywheel and clutch combo would I need?
