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.

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.

I have to say that I hope that you don't sell it as well. You've done a great job documenting it over the years and if like to see what it evolves into
