How long do you expect it to last out of curiosity?

What the gearbox?? it'sd rated around 1500hp so should be good for a long time got all the good fruit in it and an aftermarket case which eliminates the big weakness in high hp powerglides

Another nights progress, got the Diff centre and trans coolers and a few random parts, showed up 3 weeks early which was a nice surprise.

Went with a Moser centre, 3.5 Motive gears full spool and a alloy pinion support. Should get the job done, its a heavy piece if gear but if it doesn't fail I'm happy. Running a B&M supercooler in the front that's 11x8. Hopefully its enough to keep the auto cool, ill probably end up running a secondary cooler in the boot with maybe a water/fluid style cooler for when its really hot or seeing the t/b at the track. Wont really know until I see how warm its getting.

Big and ugly, but big and strong. Everything from the BW fit straight on including the brake lines, now just have to grind/cut off the modified sway bar linkages so it will suit a E series again. Im assuming they were modified to fit a X series? Do they have different sway bar pickups?

The 'Glides in and converter is spot on with its clearance, just have to form a Xmember up now run the cooler lines and hook the shifter up. Then Tailshaft time
