Hello all,
I would like to start that I get a lot of information from this site but couldn't find any info on this topic. If there is a thread that I missed that you could link me to that would be greatly helpful. if not here is my question.
I Have a 4.0L engine that I am planning to build as much as I can but am worried my transmission wont be able to keep up. I believe I have a Mazda M50D-R1 manual trans. I want to keep manual and was wondering if anyone has any info on upgrades/swaps I can do to give it the best chance against my engine.
PS: this will be mainly a mudding build, 30+ inch tires with upgraded (Likely) D44 differential front 8.8 rear. truck has lots of semimetal value as it was my first ever vehicle that I found and bought back, so I don't want to engine swap.
