2 is more than enough to hold the tranny, IMO.
you could always buy an aftermarket one or leave it in the stock location and weld a plate/brace to it.

Steel braided lines, fittings and QD's - $ 175
Custom Drive Shaft - $ 300
TCI Flexplate - $ 200
Autometer Trans Temp guage - $80
B&M trick shift fluid - $ 40
ARP flexplate bolts - $ 25
Misc. nuts/bolts, tubing/sheetmetal for shifter install and to cover the hole in the tunnel from the M6 - $ 40
Total for me: $ 5350 and this didn't even include shipping prices for the trans and TC.
Obviously, there are cheaper routes to take, i just wanted what i thought to be the best, and was going to handle 800 rwhp when I get there. Just wanted to throw my setup in here for those that want to consider doing something similar in quality parts.
P.S. I already had a TQ arm, but the price of one should be factered in if you don't have one.

you can get a yank, ati or a vigilante converter for 700-900 and save some bucks there, and im sure that tranny has all the bells and whistles for that price.
you can get a very well built 400 from ati tci or ptc for around 1000-1300 without a transbrake if its not needed.
so you can really save 2 grand on the setup if you were on a budget.

. This setup is obviously geared more towards racing and higher HP setups using, IMO, very good quality parts to do so. Honestly, there was a couple well know builders that wanted $5K for the TH400 alone, but much more than I needed and my budget could handle. So I posted it for those peeps leaning towards the slightly higher end and not the budget build up direction. Most decent built TH400's will hold up to what most head/cam/small nitrous shots can throw at it anyway. After plopping out serious $$ on a built 4l60e/TC and have it blow on me I decided to over build this setup knowing I will be adding another 300-400 RWHP within the next year. Do it once, do it right for my goals, and save in the long run.Dan
