Transmission-wise, you have an option of 4L80E (what military/hummers use
now, electronically controlled, 12volt) or a beefed-up 700R4 (if you get the
one that came from behind a diesel, mechanical, a little shorter, doable).
But, if you're really into putting a lot of effort to get more HP and better
tranny, you may also consider putting a duramax/allison combo in (apparently
ALL the mounts would need to be worked on, I'm still trying to find out what
else has to be touched). But definitely beats 6.5/4L80E :-)
