Why no just take a standard 915-930 tranny and flip it up side down? This should take the hassels out of flipping the ring gear, you would have to come up with pump and a shift linkage though?

I dont know enough about it yet but I am looking into it really closely. I talked to a guy the other day that told me to call Scott at Renegade Hybrids and talk to him about it. From what he said, it is very expensive to convert a 930 trans to work correctly with a V8 car. He said once you are done though it would last for ever and be good up to about 700 HP. The cost he said was close to 10k for the transmission and conversion. There has to be a less expensive route but without more research, I dont know yet. I would suggest calling Scott at Renegade and talking to him about it. He also said that he has been running a RH converted 901 on his LS1 for 4 years without any problems and the cost for that transmission was only around 2500. Maybe a better option if you are just running a street car.
