Anything that I should upgrade while I swap out my old tranny for a built one I got and a 1058 torque converter? Should I upgrade lines? Motor mounts? any braces? tranny mounts? bolts? also what kind of tranny fluid do you recommend?
thanks

Even if you don't do the turbo now or up pipes now. It'd probably be worthwhile to break the bolts loose and pull them and antiseize them. Might save you a headache in the future if you decide to swap the turbo.

I would go with a SoCal flex plate. It is the best one out there.
