yeah i suppose...i wanna do a 383 with an 8-71 blower

 

that would be sweet especially with a butterfly scoop sticking through the hood

 

This is the way I will be going. I will be adding a shift light where the factory headlight switch is and running an Autometer Recall Tach. The headlight switch will be moved to the column.

 

why would a run a tubo 400 when that takes more HP to run than a turbo 350 lol

 

if you dont do much more to your motor ok... well i dont really know what a turbo 350 will handle but i know a 400 turbo will handle almost anything stock

and it doesnt take hp to run a transmission u just have more parasitic loss in some more than others but i got what you were saying

the point i was making was the 700r4 is crap and will play out and is not worth modifying

 

He is correct in almost everyway, a TH400 can handle any stock engine, the parasitic loss in a TH400 can be corrected with billet clutch drums, keep in mind they are very expensive. The only thing a 700r4 is good for is a boat anchor , but this is my opinion.

A TH350 will work but you will need a shift kit, good quality clutches, and the biggest cooler you can use; hell this is a must for any tranny.

 

the 87 gmc that i had had a 700r4 and i was just limping along on it when i wrecked the damn truck and this was on a 90k mile 305 tbi all stock with very high pegleg rear gears adn fluid changed when it was supposed to

 

mine has seemed to hold up well for me so far...

 

it may do that for you but when it does break it will cost you

 

lol ok, lets get back on topic......5" tachs
