I might do the swap to a 350 i'm tired of messing around with the 4L60E electronics and tuning it to race.

My th350 is all in. Only thing I'm waiting on is my driveshaft! Can't wait to see what a 5200 stall is all about.

i really dont mean to hijack, but im in the same boat as the op, and was curious since about 90% of you that have posted here have a th400 or 350, just curious how she does for driving around town, mine is not a daily driver but i do take her out alot in the evening and weekends. just curious. it would probably serve me well for now until i can do the 6l80e. sorry op, just seemed like a good spot for the question.

TH350s and TH400s are fine for crusing around...most cars back in the day came stock with them...and no one ever had a problem then.

Personally if I had a cruiser I'd want the 6 speed, which is personal preference but they get awful expensive to maintain once you hit the track. I went over kill on my th400 but now I don't have to worry about it. Everything with the th400 is built stronger. If you hold the input (yolk) for your driveshaft up to a input for the th400 driveshaft you'll see the difference, but with that you add some weight.

I'm with Camaro396 about the higher stall speed. I've got a 3000 in it now and its not nearly enough for my cam. I can't wait to get a 4000 - 4200 in it to pick up a little more.

My car see's street duty a couple times a week and usually all weekend. This includes driving it on the highway at 60 mph to the track which is a 20 minute drive.

Gas mileage and practicality never crossed my mind when the car was being built in the garage
