No idea but I'd bet someone on performancetrucks.net would know.

Some of the ss silverado guys have run them with nitroused procharged 427's around 1000hp. They are sure alot stronger then most transmissions. I got a rossler 4l80e for my conversion van. Itll be a decent test at 7000 lbs.....and maybe 800 hp.

The Silverado SS TC will take more than 1000hp easily. There have been several trucks in that range with N2O, Procharger and twin turbos without issues. The only break I've heard of was someone snapping the internal chain trying to dyno it with the front shaft pulled.

np3 is the np149 transfer case which is a viscous coupler style one. the nr3 is the borg warner awd case. the np149 is the more desireable one for performance. i doubt they are interchangable without replacing driveshafts

Interesting thread. I have F+R 2006 Corvette suspension, a built LS2, a built 4l65E and a TBSS transfer case... thinking an aluminum frame and a front differential with a 5th gen Camaro rear to go along with a 34 Chevy body I have kicking around. I want to do "bigs and littles" as I have a set of 21/20" Forgelines off my Vette. Light weight, AWD with 560ish hp built to rev should be a lot of fun with paddle shifters and good brakes.

Can these be modified to handle the power of my TT402??

Any info would be apprecited! Thanks!!

I am building a awd 1969 camaro as we speak!! check out my progress

There's a guy on this forum doing an AWD build of a 67 Cougar. Hasn't had any updates in quite a while, though. I think he sourced the engine/driveline stuff from a Buick Rendezvous, or Rainier (whichever one was the Trailblazer clone).
