EEEEEEEEEE damn but then the car would NEVER hook up bc of the ratios plus u did forget to add in the how the 4l60e would cost over twice as much to build

does the powerglide take away rwhp like t400 does on the dyno??

Question is do you want to drive the car or look at in the yard
4L60Es are capable transmission, very much so ,
the funny thing is if people only knew the similarities between a th350 and a 4l60e , Its not a matter of parts though they are important but more a matter
of build

Notch the stock cross,I have the TA arm bracket from my old camaro so I can reuse my old TA arm and going to take some measurements so I can see witch turbo350 tailshaft I will need 2 use the stock driveshaft. Well under a 1,000 and I will deff be doing the work myself.Also a 4l60e wont make a car a DD 4400 stall 4.10 gears=no fun in rush hour no matter what tranny

A glide is very lightweight and so are the internals. It's supposed to be very efficient compared to aa th400. How much so, I'm not sure.
Mine works great though and I can't wait to hit it with 150-300hp.
I've been 11.30's in a 3400lb car, 3.73's, 28" tires, 5000 stall. It drives ok on the street also.
