!!!!!STUPID QUESTION TIME!!!!! HELP

Usually my rule of thumb is if u know what RPM yer engine makes the most torque, go 2 to 4 hundred rpm back and thats yer stall. Its TORQUE that makes impressive hole shots. There are several factors to picking out the right convertor. Engine TQ curve, HP, gearing, weight of vehicle. ECT.

sounds like its a good deal for a good transmission, whos it buy or who made this quote? What kind of warrenties are offered and If your gunna buy it, make sure you have an ase certified mechanic install it. Ive heard of reputable Transmission shops declining warrenties due to shade tree mechanics installing re-maned trannies.

ive heard Bowtie can be dicks if they wanna be but put out damn good transmissions. Monster transmission has a great selection. A buddy of mine bought a replacement 200r4 for his ss monte and loves it. it come with his selection the torque convertor based on his specs of the motor, a shift kit, fluid, and an extra fitler. He's had it for a little over 2 years and hasnt had a bit of problems. Im more towards TCI myself. I ordered a TH400 for my 71 Monte 6 years ago and the only issue i had was the o-ring on the downshift cable blew out on me. i got a free replacement after 4 years of having it. I think ive put 15,000 miles on it and it shifts perfect.

Thanks for the compliment on the frame, but it was my understanding that certain modifications can be made so it can still fit.....right??

Not even worth the time, 307 frame pads can be found for dirt cheap less than 20$, I personally haven't heard of anyone modifying sbcframe pads for sbo frame pads.
