I am not certain about what transmission to use as of yet.. would like to keep the first gear ratio fairly low.. and still have the option for O/D... I heard that the NV3550 is pretty robust for its size and weight.. although it only has about a 4.00 first gear if I remember correctly.. and I think originally the truck had about a 6.00 first gear..

and maybe a deep first gear would be more useful than OD, in the long run..

38 LBS is kinda heavy sounding.. maybe a flywheel for an 11 inch clutch would be better.. I am still in the deep end of the learning curve here. During the walk today, the idea popped up that I could have the whole rotating assembly balanced.. which opened up the thinking that maybe it could be done..
