yes i realize but with the right gearing they can make things very interesting. and if i used it my car would become track only.
If you want something bulletproof go with a TH-400. You'll have to move the crossmember and cut the driveshaft, I also believe that it has a different output spindle so you'll need to have the yoke modified. I know a good shop Tacoma Driveline. A TH-400 will rob a little bit of power and weigh in a lot heavier but it can take anything your small block can throw at it. They are fairly inexpensive to build up, about the same as a TH-350. I'd deff. stay away from a Powerglide! Those even built up with some serious $ can not handle anything over 3000Lbs. You'll blow it apart for sure.bananaMC said:alright after the explosive death of my recent 200r4 the choices in my possesion are a T350,T400, or a 700r4 with a steel gear kit. i am getting very tired of swapping trannies. I just need one that can take daily beating of around 300hp and 75shot without blowing internals. I am to the point where I will do anything including cut the driveshaft just to get it right. I have access to a race prepped powerglide out of 68 camaro but dont want to go that route just yet. I just need the strongest combo for the money.
I've heard that 700's are great off road, in K5's and 1/2 ton trucks. That low 1st gear really comes in handy. But as far as street use I'd deff. stick with a 200-4R If I was going to go for a 4spd. I'd like to get one and rebuild it, I think my next transmission will be a 200RegalX said:a 700R4 isnt really any stonger than a 200R4, plus the 700R4's first gear is a 3.06 ratio!. I'd stick with a 200R4 or a TH350, they should both take 300hp easy if they are rebuilt decent
