I vote th400 with a 205. Hard to beat a good 400 turbo.

They ain't got no gear, even with 5.38s you gotta have a healthy motor if ya wanta run them big tires :****:

Yep. (Well the OP does)

Don't you have to run a gen 4 motor to run a 6l80 and get it all to work together happily

Guess he would need to gear in the t case with a 400. Wasn't thinking about that.

This is the kinda stuff I don't know about these trannies/cases. Appreciate the responses so far.

I'm OP I'm planing on keeping 4 speed because I'm cheap and like simplicity. I run rockwells. Future plans do include auto but I want to build it right the first time. I don't believe I'll have enough money for a complete drivetrain swap at this time unless a th400 and 205 pop up.

Mooretoyx4 is asking about tranny. Which I am very interested in hearing everyone's opions.

I swapped from dbc to dbw For better tuning and better throttle response Fuel pump I run aeromotive a1000 had very good luck out of mine been going for 7yrs now. Regulator I also went with aeromotive You can do push-lok fittings for fuel lines but do not get jegs brand ones I ran Russell brand fuel lines and they are badass jegs has em they just not in books or run braided lines. A lot people out there for wiring harness cutdown so you will have a very simple 3 wire hook up. Also your tuner can delete off all the bullshit you don't need such as egr/o2 sensors so on and so on. Mass air can be deleted off but that's a whole other subject It really is simple. **** if I can do it anyone can

You ever seen me work on a motor? Haha.

Auto for sure. So much easier on step hills. As hard as Eddies clutch pedal is to press my leg would be hurting after a day of riding.

I think some folks have gotten them standalone on pirate. What would be fun is a coyote 5.0 with a 6l80.

I'm waiting to be able to get some coyote motors. I just hate how proprietary ford is with their ECM control. Stingy bastards.

You mean my "MAN PEDAL"?
It keeps the women and wee lads from driving my rig.

To make them standalone? Liquid iron idustries raced with one.

I wish they would make a motor like the coyote 5.0 but bigger for n/a. Think racing a supercharged forged 5.0 would be fun.
