TH400 RMVB of choice
I'm ditching my 4L80E in favor of a 400. What is everyone's reverse manual valve body of choice. I'm considering cost to be important, but not if product quality has to suffer.
Oh yea, its a mud truck, will see 0-1% street use. 5.3 ls6 cam maggie @2500 stall, big tires, low gears.
Thanks... Brint

A few different reasons really. -I already have about a 2500 stall converter for a 400, a good stall for an 80 is a pretty big investment.-I don't need OD.-I want a reverse pattern so I can quickly get to reverse from low and vice versa(yes I will give it adequate time to take gear before mashing down)
Last reason is because I have a clearance problem btwn the ps pump pulley and the steering box on the frame(Toyota truck), so I put a smaller pulley on the pump for clearance. Seemed like a good idea... but after just a few minutes of run time the pump starts raising hell and assist fades. I have been assuming its from overdriving the pump. So I added two coolers and an e fan, only makes it take another min or two to start screaming so no good there.
Sooo.... I am hoping that going to a 400 will allow me to move the engine back enough so that I will have enough clearance to put the oem pulley back on.
Sorry for the long **** reply but you asked for it.
