It depends how much money you want to spend really. Ford 4R100's are real tough trannies and work great behind them. However, you'll have about $5k in one before it's done. GM 4L80E's will work too, but you still have to buy an adapter plate and a controller. I like the 47RH's because they can be directly bolted to these engines using a dodge engine plate. You have to use 2 toggle switches or vacuum switches to control over drive and lock up. I'm going to put both on mine and will post up when I do so. I'll have all the good parts in this trans except billet shafts but it'll still be a super strong transmission.
