Hey there gents, this is my first post on this Forum. I'm putting a 93 6BT and a518 trans into my 78' F150. I have attained an HE351CW for turbo, am an HD Mechanic with lots of experience rebuilding Powershift transmissions and Torque Converters.
I'm not new to diesels, but am new to the 6BT and Dodge auto trannies. I've read a lot about the a518 and its ups and downs, some su they are junk, others bitch about lack of L/U, ad others call them scrap. I feel extremely confident I can rebuild my current a518 myself, so that can help in labour dept, what I lack in experience is understanding what parts to choose for my selected HP. Goerand will prob be the converter I will go with, but everything else is pretty much up in the air. If you were in my shoes, what supplier would you use, what parts/kit, and why?
Cheers gentleman
