47re tear down & subsequent rebuild

[jlbayes]

So I bought a core 47re a month or so ago. A buddy came by as we tore down the trans from my green truck. Figured might as well get started on the core trans. Well here is what we found so far LOL. Plan as of now for the trans is to go in the 12v once done. Will get a dpc reman triple. Already have the full rebuild kit, billet input, tcs servo & lever kit, and goerends vb. I will be making my own laminated flex plate. This trans came out of a v10 truck.

wow someone did good work on that bad boy

Welded direct and no thrust on the planet. Rest surprisingly look rather ok. 2nd gear band had some heat to it but od looked very nice comparatively.

I just wanna know how..... It's rather impressive.

How much power will it be able to hold??

[jlbayes]

This one only needs to hold 600whp. Which what is going in it shouldn't be too bad. No fancy stuff like with greenys. My buddies eyes lit up when he saw the billet forward drum from tcs LOL

Is there a reason you go with DPC's TC and Goerend's VB and not just both from Goerend?

[jlbayes]

Cost and use. Can't justify the converter cost for what this is gonna do.

[notlimah]

Ah gotcha, didn't catch the reman triple disk.

 

What are you going to use it for?

[jlbayes]

No problem. It is my dd and will be a tow rig. Now that the cursed green turd is alive lol
