At minimum there will be a transmission replacement,probably entire head and manifold section, possible pistons and sleeves, better off just getting a great frame and body and dropping a crate motor and tranny in for 5-8k for literally ANY GAS BURNING I.C. ENGINE! Diesel Crate motors are a whole different ballgame but I digress, go to <a href="http://www.jegs.com" target="_blank">www.jegs.com</a> enter make and model and look up a crate motor for YOUR vehicle, then go to <a href="http://www.monstertransmissions.com/" target="_blank">http://www.monstertransmissions.com/</a>  when it comes to $ and cents will almost always be cheaper to get a new crate and tranny for your rig, as long as the frame, body and interior are 95% or better.By the way I am not affiliated with either of those sites, I just recently got a new transmission for when mine goes, and am in the process of saving for a new 454 big block from JEGS. I am in it to get people to save those late model cars!</blockquote>
