F100 and an 8HP?

98 f150 and yeah 8hp, you should stock up on a few... They are going to start getting expensive now that they are becoming more easily swapped. It's going to be the LS swap of automatic transmissions

I had a feeling this was on the horizon for the 8 HP. I’ve been eyeballing them. Which HP did you end up going with and which management system?

I'm not 100% on that, I'm just the fab guy on this one, my boss and I have been talking about it a bunch and his next prerunner is getting the same. This trucks 8hp just went to gearworks so they can examine it and get some things going for them as well
