Just got struck by a brain fart.......
Has anybody ever put a Daimler 5g-tronic behind a SBC? This transmission is known to be well equipped to handle big torque numbers (about 1000NM) and is widely used behind high powered V8 and V12 engines. Chrysler used that transmission also behind it's Hemi V8's, called NAG1, only pi..ed off Chrysler engineers can come up with a name like that, BTW
Standalone controllers are available from different companies too.
Thinking about ditching the TH350 in my '85 El Camino in order to gain overdrive. 2004R's are impossible to find over here, 700R4's and 4L60's are mostly the 4.3 units and 4-figure for a questionable one. On the other hand, even if I tried I couldn't walk 100yrds without tripping over a cheap 5g-tronic over here, often still with a complete W210/W211 attached to it.
