Auto or stick guy?

4l80e would be my top choice. A 700r4 could be built up but they're known to not survive long behind big power (there are always exceptions).
A Tremec TK600 5spd/OD or T-56 if you want a stick.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Thanks Scott, the Donor truck i bought has the 4L80 with it. It seems like a very good match. I hope to set the motor in a couple weeks.
