Hello Everybody,
I’m returning back to the DSM world as I was finally able to find a 98 GSX with partial mods and a blown block (after searching for 7 years). I used to own a 91 GSX that was running low 12’s at the time, and used to be a part of Connecticut DSM club. I’m looking forward to be back and apart of the family once again.
I am currently in the process of the rebuild, the car was already running 10’s when the previous owner through a rod into the block by pushing 25 PSI on stock internals (Really).
There are many performance parts and a new block (.20 over bore) that came with this purchase. I have 2 extra heads (1&2 gens), what seems to be a 1gen performance radiator, stroked rods, 1st gen pistons and rods, extra ECU’s, 3 sets of cams (I believe they are all different) Brand new Wesco Forged rods and pistons, 1000 CC injectors 750 CC injectors, AEM Piggy back system, Precision T3 Turbo, some huge Front mount intercooler. V banded and E85 tuned, with a 255 Fuel pump… With many many other parts.
In the process of pulling the old block, I found that the starter was blown out of the transmission case. The transfer case also was punctured by the rod, through the oil pan. (Good thing I have another transfer case).
I also cracked a piece off of the transmission case, were it bolts to the transfer case and the lower end of the block. Can I use a 1gen transmission on a 98? Where can I find a Transmission in the OKC area? What’s a good price that I should be paying for one? Is it worth it to get a performance tranny? Should I build my own or buy one?
My other questions I will look through the forums.
Any Suggestions, comments, or questions are more than welcomed.
