Yup and I think that thing has a lt1 or older sbc in it. Lsx and twins would surely get that thing moving even better. I want to say he mentioned something about ls swapping and turbo actually.
Here you guys go, who wants to buy a ls1tech icon car build?, lol...

So bump this back up. Since i was able to sell off all my th350 parts i went ahead and started to swap to a th400. Yesterday i picked up the 400, first impression is "no more tin can", this 400 has to be 30lbs heavier then my 350...holy cow!
Specs:
-all tore down, all new bearings and upgraded/larger bushings
-TSI RMVB with Pro brake and external solenoid
-upgraded steel hub
-hardened intermediate, input and output shaft
-34element sprag
-high energy clutches with added clutches
-high volume pump
-aluminum deep pan
-JW Bell
TSI rates it for 2000+ hp, only option later is the billet direct drum and 36element sprag when i get it freshened up after this summer. Now a new crossmember and driveshaft and im back in action!

Just sold the bell of it in favor of the new lsx specific bell. Once that gets here I'll have Eric@MWC make me a new crossmember and toss it in. This time around I'll be going with a cromoly driveshaft vs the aluminum one I had. I want this to be the LAST time I want to have driveline issues!

It gets very frustrating when **** doesn't go together right. I give it a week or so to sell then I get unfrustrated and fix it. Hard to sell a car that doesn't move so hence why I still have it. Once it's running again and 100% I'll seriously pursue on selling it. Till then I'll keep the thread updated with progress.
but keep on going with it! 
Lol well mine has MWC front and rear suspension etc. like yours no junk stuff. Super Vic manifold is beening sent to nitrous outlet to get the puck installed when taxes get back.
