The FWD Capri's sole purpose is to carry a B6T around until it's ready to be installed in its rightful place, the Ford Festiva.
That said i have a hardon for them solely because they weren't sold in Canada.

Yeah, the last few days of the school year (especially in lower grades with no exams to study for) where you'd just dick around watching movies or they'd open the gym and do bigass dodgeball games and poo poo? Those were your snow days if it didn't snow.

Has anyone had any experience with Monster Transmission? I recently bought a 2005 Silverado 1500, 2wd, 5.3L (aluminum block in place of the stock 4.8L), with a slipping transmission (4L65E) from my friend for $1700. Every local shop I've called wants to pull the trans for me and rebuild it to a ballpark of $3500-4000 or else they wont warranty the rebuild. That or the warranty is reduced to 30-90 days depending on the shop. I'm planning on pulling the transmission and either spending a bunch of extra time rebuilding it, possibly loving it up, and not having a warranty but saving around $1k, or Getting the Monster heavy duty 500hp transmission for about $1600 after core charge.

Thanks for any insight. Here's my cat Beavis in a box.



My experience with automatics (especially longitudinal American stuff) is that 'pull a random trans from the cheapest junkyard, install, drive till it explodes, rinse, repeat' is the most reliable solution. I'd trust an OEM build with an unknown history over an unknown build every day of the week.
or hell, a new one from the General himself can be had for under $2k.

Also, put an NV3500 (or NV4500 if you're planning on doing crazy poo poo) in it because automatics are bad and NV3500 GMT800s are fun

A buddy had an old Subaru, 4x140. Constantly bent the fuckers bouncing off rocks and poo poo too.
(he once got a tow truck stuck recovering him, heavy wrecker had to come bail both out)
