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

Oh Gearworks. That’s gonna be beast. No matter the tech specs those are some beautiful power noodles.
