I'm using the stock tranny. If you have the auto, you definitely want to get it beefed up. Don Stegar did the work to the one I got. It bolts up the same way but using a part DeLorean, part Chevy bellhousing. The stock tranny without any mods is rated at 250 HP but I wouldn't trust it. Hopefully one day, fundage allowing, I'll be able to get more than 250 HP out of my engine setup. With what I have now, I should be fairly close to 220 to 240 hp without any mods to the engine. The tranny I got was actually used with a 350 so it should easily hold up to the Vortec V6. I've got ALOT of pics of the swap and the engine is actually sitting in the car now (FINALLY!!) but I just haven't updated my website yet. I'll try and do that soon.
