Where to buy reman / upgraded auto transmission
I have 99 disco 1 . I am dropping in a gems performance upgraded 4.6 . The "estimated" hp is about 250 hp. I have spent about 6k on the engine and now it's time to decide what to do for an auto trans.
I have zero interest in modifying a Zfhp22 with hp24 internals . I am looking to buy the strongest rebuilt hp22 possible ( within reasonable costs) . I would prefer to buy a hp22 that has been already upgraded to withstand higher hp, but I would settle for buying a standard 22hp built from a very trustworthy reputable person / company.
I would appreciate any and all suggestions and comments, but I would really appreciate contact info for someone who can sell me a STRONG zfhp22.
Thanks in advance

My trans is severely slipping, And underrated for the engine. Hp22's were used behind the 4.0. , The 4.6's had hp24's behind them , but the hp24's are electronically controlled and the disco 1 doesn't support electronically controlled transmissions .
I am looking for someone who rebuilds / sells an hp22 that would be able to handle the hp of my engine.
I know it is technically possible to rebuild an hp22 with hp24 internals to strengthen it up. But I have no desire to do that myself. It's a little beyond me.
I would like to find someone who sells a performance upgraded hp22 , or at least someone who does quality standard remanufacturing.
Anyone have any experience or knowledge of these guys ....

Looks like a little overkill for what I need , but for that price it should be a tough trans.

We can build the 4HP22 but fit the centre section of the box with the bigger 4HP24 internals which upgrades one of the weak links being the C1/C2 one way clutch, the 24 one is much stronger,

Check these out:
D&D Fabrications: Aluma Rides
D&D Fabricators also has a wealth of background with the Buick engine we all have and a multitude of upgrades. They do all sorts of vehicles including built MGB's and a lot of upgrades for Rover running gear (engines and tranny as well as other systems) as well as custom applications, give them a call:
Adapter Plates, Bellhousings, Clutches, Rear Ends, Starters, Transmissions, etc.

I would also find a local racing or truck shop in your area. I run a couple of F-350's at work, and the guys who built those transmissions had no problem doing a DII tranny. Billet torque converters and upgraded clutch packs as well as maybe a stronger output shaft would be all you would need, unless you plan on kicking the crap out of the truck daily.
A good local transmission shop is a godsend. A bad one will really wreck your day/wallet/marriage/hairline. So do your homework!
