Is there no tranny in it or is the current tranny bad? If the current tranny is bad, check into rebuilding it. Otherwise, you'll probably pay more for a reman tranny than you will for the whole truck. I think Blumenthals quoted me around $1800 exchange a couple of years ago.

For a grand you'd better just buy the darn thing. That's cheap. The trans as a core could bring 600.

More than that Hy can put out. LOL That turbo is gonna suck on that truck. The H1c is a far better turbo that can accually grow with your needs unlike the one on the 03.

Oh and I've hit 50psi on mine with stock gasket and bolts, no retorque.
