Th350 will handle big power on a na motor. But on a turbo application I have heard them not holding up. Its possible to build a th350 to handle big turbo power but cost money and you have to find someone that knows what they are doing. But I want a transmission that will handle a lot more than I will make simple because I am real rough on stuff....

Lets put nitrous on this thing too!

v8 + turbo + nitrous = win?!

Well this a sad update. A buddy of mine rebuilt the transmission and fucked something up. I don't have second gear and the transmission over heats fast. Just after 1 pull I had transmission fluid all over the place. So the transmission need to come back out. But to make matters worse the motor started knocking. Sounds like a lifter went out. I have a buddy that works at the white bear lake super store. Hopefully he can figure out what it is for sure. Hopefully its an easy fix. If its not I will just pull the motor and replace with another 5.3. But I might just pull the motor band transmission out next weekend.

shitty man. Good thing 5.3's are cheap?

Update. Picked up a new motor and a built th400 transmission. I finally got the new motor and trans in the truck now. Hopefully next weekend I will have the truck up and running. I still have a decent amount of stuff to do to get it running again. I found a transmission cooler at work that is 24 inches wide and about 12 inches tall. I need to find 2 10 inch fans to mount on the trans cooler. I am mounting the trans cooler under the truck that's why I am mounting fans on it.

Well I got pretty far with the truck today. A couple more hours and it should be done. I need to bend new transmission lines that go up to the front of the truck. Install starter, bolt tq converter to flywheel, drill new holes for my trans cross brace, install drive shaft, and hope it starts. Hahaha.

New transmission cooler and I painted the valve covers candy apple red.

If you ever need your transmission rebuilt for big power, Paul at Proven Force knows his stuff. He's been building transmissions since the 80's.
