Hot rod iv been checking around on diff. trannys need your input-Batman has a uncle saling a powerglide-what do you think of powerglides? I talk to a guy from craigslist that has a 400 already built with b&m stuff never used but sitting a yr in his shop has no converter and he said it was the longer 400 he also said he has a shift kit for it but its not installed. Im guessing id have to cut my shaft to get that 400 to work...u got me thinking maybe that 350 wouldnt handle that 454 for very long...And im starting to also to think to leave the 350 engine in it and just put the 454 in something else on down the road. Not sure what to do...

A 93 model is 4L60-E Not a 700r4. Same trans, but one is Electronic one is not. You won't be using an Electronic one in that truck. IF you choose to go 700r4, look for an 88-92 preffered. 87 is OK, but 86 and older you should avoid. There were improvements made every single year on the 700r4, so the later the better, but the 88-92 to have the stronger shafts.
I'd avoid the 200-4r. Big Big Bucks to make them worthy. Art Carr does it. The 200-4r is the 700r4 Alternaive for Buick, Olds, Pont, Cad that want to run a rear wheel drive Overdrive trans. Being that 700r4 does not come in that bellshousing. 200-4r is a universal bellhousing and will fit all + Chevy included.
That T400 with B&M stuff and 2000 stall does sound like a real good deal. It'll sure bolt in there. The short shaft is the one you want. The long shafts were for long boat large full size cars and vans. Trucks got short tailshaft with 2 piece driveshafts and that's why the yoke is bolt on for trucks. But you can use the car yoke too if the U joints fits your drive shaft, but you're likely to need to get a special u joint. If the output shaft is threaded for a bolt on yoke, then your home free, no special U joint needed. The speical U joints really aren't that expensive. Maybe $25 or so and only good quality companies make them.

I know this might be kinda dumb for me to ask this-but id like to know and maybe some other guy be helped in knowing the answer. On the 2004r the specs i found said it has a max torque which is 330lbs on a 6000lb vehicle- Mine is only 3760 so wouldnt that max torque 330 actually be broaden through the weight of the vehicle? Mathmatical:dunno:wouldnt it be 1lb of torque per 18.18lbs of vehicle weight?

If thats right then a 3760lb vehicle with a 2004r could handle around 450lbs of torque. Am im not thinking right:dunno:?
