I wanted to post some pics of the build on my car to show it's progress level.
Right now, it appears like the car is 2-3 weeks from being completed.
It would be much sooner, but I am still waiting on parts to arrive from Japan.

Well, the decision was made to go with a Ford C4 Tranny w/transbrake and GearVendors Overdrive Setup. This should allow the car to remain very streetable, yet a solid performer on the drag strip.
ATI transmissions is currently sponsoring the car with their Super Damper, so I am giving them first shot at the tranny.
If not, I have decided to go with Performance Automatics http://www.performanceautomatic.com/transc4.htm and the PA26107 Super Comp Tranny w/Transbrake, as this is supposed to be the top of the line performance C4 tranny on the market.
PA offers a lifetime warranty, and will replace the tranny if it fails. That speaks volumes about their quality.
After talking with Ivan @ AMS, and Dane@ Desynz Motorsport in Australia, it's a no brainer.
In Australia, they make a Cast Conversion Bellhousing to mate the RB block to the C4 tranny. This will be great, as the swap will be clean, and it should look like it belongs in the tunnel.
I'm still curious on how this car will hold up with the 4.08 OEM rearend.
No worries, as BF Goodrich is the main sponsor on the car, and getting tires has not be an issue thus far.
