Well it's time for an update. Where to start, haha.
Well I got engaged after I got back from Jamaica, yay me. Had a nice break from everything too.
As far as the build goes...
Brakes from Shone are on and they rock. Still waiting on the shocks from Walker Evans, they are waiting on the shock bodies for my application. Did some painting of the charge piping. After photoshopping the colours I ended up going with ford blue. I think it looks great. Going to paint a couple other pieces on the engine but I need to pick up some flat silver paint. I started running the wiring harness, got the drivers side sorted out so you can only see a few wires, now to tackle the passenger side. Heres some pics of the paint work, Oh all the paint is rattle can too.

You have no idea how bad I want to drive this but the wait is gonna be a lot longer till I do. Without a proper trans the engine is useless. So I need to figure the trans out now, not looking forward to this bill thou.

Personally I'd probably just go for a built 4R100 and a PCS and call it done. Hopefully someone can work out the wrench light ( manual trans ECM maybe ? ) and the PRND21 light issue soon.

I was going to do the 4r but it's a battle and who knows when the issues will be resolved. Also Erik and Mike both have 5r's as does Shone and Mike Haller's customer. I'll use the 5r, got 4yrs on my current one at a little over 600hp.

Wonder what they changed to make them hold, seems like everyone in the 1000 hp club was having issues with shifting and breakage. Which don't get me wrong is to be expected given the power out put.

Trans tuning is a big thing.

I think a lot of it comes down to intended use. If its going to see a lot of track time, then a 4R is the better choice. A daily driver/street machine I'd still go with the 5R.

I have heard that Eric can tune the 6.4 5R's to sift more like the 6.0 5R's now but I didn't know what they are running for tuning or if it was more of a hardware change. I have heard many a good thing about Elite transmissions though.
