Thinking about it in my little head, why would you need to pull the tranny out with the motor? You can unbolt the tranny while everything is in the truck, even if you are pulling the motor out with a hoist, regardless, it is probably safer to do tranny work while you are at it. I vote reman unless you are going to upgrade, but I haven't heard of anybody really having to upgrade their tranny's unless they go with a Livernois motor that is also S/C. I know most put a different drive shaft in. Anyway not trying to start a debate.
