[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3594326, member: 15054"] I built a 455 Olds for a 73 Buick 2 door skylark. Friend of mine that built Transmissions at the time built a lot of TH 400's for Tow trucks. I thought the TH 350 I had built would die behind the Now 467" Olds. I had him go to my buddy which was much older gent than i was. He got a TH 400 built to take the Power. It lasted 2 weeks. He got it to my house and I swapped his TH 350 back into it and took the 400 to my buddy. I got a call later that day and my transmission buddy said that transmission is completely destroyed.. he never seen anything like it. I told him it makes a BUNCH of TQ go for a ride with him and see. He said he never felt anything that made soooo much power and said he can't fathom what needed to be done to the 400 to handle it. I found out he did not build strong transmissions. The 400 will take a bunch of power. We left the TH 350 in it and never had any issues. Sorry to get off topic so far. I need to go build myself a 383 stroker now for my truck. [/QUOTE]
