Looking to put a Lenco in my project 69 super bee with my 472 hemi infront of it. I was looking for a car to run in the 10's and drive on the street I went to Lencos website and found this http://www.lencoracing.com/ST1200MasterPage.html has anybody here run a lenco on the street? I know they are some coin so I don't want to wreck it driving it around town either. What are your thoughts? Thanks

Do you think I should go auto 727 with a transbrake? I talked with a guy who was running one of these in his chevelle he said he paid about $5k for it. If I did a auto set up with a brake on it I was getting qoutes $3k-$4k for a done trany. I like the stick shift factor and pretty much no one around here has them in there cars.

It is a very nice piece go for it. I looks great and yes it has a bling factor to it.

I want to 1 day put 1 in my cuda , for now its a Hemi crashbox.

I just finished getting one installed in my car.

I have some pics I'll put up.

As far as cost comparison goes...I got mine when they had a "sale" back in Dec/Jan.

Couldn't beat the price and I'll NEVER have to worry about breaking it.

pm me if you want .

The ST1200 is indeed the street trans version of a CS1. And as bullet proof as they are, I have seen a small block Rustang take one out. It was out of the car and sitting in the shop the one day I stopped in. Its big, heavy, a bit noisy according to the owner, and very expensive. Does it look cool, and would I put one in my Cuda? YES!

For a 10s ride, the 727 will more than handle the job and its way lighter. Call Cope Racing Trans and get a quote and shoot the breeze. I think for around $2k ish, you could end up in one of those pretty easy. As for the Lenco, I am still drooling over their Lenco drive models...

thats it...?
no body gonna mention prices?
do they have/make a single handle shifter?
i like the gear selection...
having a clutch gives you so much more ability
to change launch rpms....
and get the 1 to 1 in high gear..
what kinda money was it...?
hydralic clutch or mech..?
bellhousing is aluminum/ sfi?
let us know how it goes on street up and down shifting.
cheapst

OOOOPS I forgot I only drove it around town for a month

the Lenco is more suited for Pro Mods type applications IMO

I would look hard at a Jerico
http://www.jericoperformance.com/

I got talked put of a JERICO by 2 people Who have have big time 3rd gear failures...in 1 case the whole trans ended up in the dumpster....nothing was salvagable....NOT my idea of $$$ well spent.

I'm not going to get into a pissin g match over what is choice is better.

If you'd like my input pm me.

Other wise I don't care to add any more to this topic as it's already "tainted"
