Simon, what's your target raceweight?

Guessing around 5400lb. Everytime I remove something I have to add weight with safety equipment ...... Not that I need to tell you about that.

The trans with Bruno bellhousing and converter should be around 200lb
I want to get some exact numbers on it before install though

It will be interesting to see how it does. If it holds up to the weight and torque, it might be the new wave for racing pickups.

A typical monster truck weighs 9000lb and a lot of them use the cs1 Lenco

But I have no personal experience with it.... So time will tell.


If it does or doesn't work you guys will hear about it:D

The way they (Monster trucks) throw those things in and out in 15minutes with 1 guy is pretty dam impressive... Although its kinda apples to oranges in comparison to our trucks it will be interesting to read what the total set up weighs and also if its any easier to pull in and out then the Allison or Duraflight for maintenance..

Lenco has the weight on there site, doesn't that include the Lenco drive though?
Click to expand...

The lenco drive is way diferent and much lighter than the bruno...

I have close to the same set up set up in my truck now, i know exaclty what it weighs, yours however will be heavyer, due to the bigger shaft and lock up VB installed and the bigger bell, and convertor.

you will be at least 260lbs everything together.


BTW whats that in your avatar? cougar....

Sweet, i knew i was close, you running a CS2? 3 speed or 2 speed?
Click to expand...

CS1 3 speed Tcase 1:32 overdrive

Have to look back at the notes but IIRC 2:11 first gear


I have no idea on the weight of the Alli? But its nice being able to grab a trans off the bench and put it on the trans jack:D
