TH350, TH400 or Powerglide
Discussion
Looking for constructive advice on the best gearbox for my 67 Camaro, 383 smallblock, 537bhp, 500+ ft/lbs torque, 3000lbs total weight, 12 bolt rear with 4.11 gears, 28" Hoosier slicks, 3800 stall converter, all pretty text book stuff, best ET to date 11.33, best 60ft 1.65, must run 10.99 by end of this year
I actually spoke to Carla on Saturday, they run TH350`s in both cars and obviously get good results. Thanks for the advice Carla !!
The 11.33et 1.65 60foot I mentioned were using my TH350 with the set up in this post, unfortunatly it was getting ready for a rebuild by that time.
It was in unknown condition at the beginning of last year, when I started using it and it worked without any problems all season. Only when I changed to a more powerful engine, it started to show signs of failing in the oil.
I changed to a Powerglide with transbrake, unfortunatly to date I haven`t matched the times achieved with the TH350.
My plan now is to rebuild the TH350, put it back for the rest of this season, then look inside it and see how well it is taking the extra power.

Not saying it won't work but if you want long term reliability a TH400 makes much more sense.You won't have to look inside one of those if they're built properly.The 11.33et 1.65 60foot I mentioned were using my TH350 with the set up in this post, unfortunatly it was getting ready for a rebuild by that time.

If you'd ever seen inside one you'd know why i'm telling you this.
You should have gone and asked some of the guys at the summer nats who were running 400's that we've done for them.
ah well,good luck with it...
