> If you are driving this on the street, you don’t really want a manual valve body. It really isn’t needed. BTW a stock TH400 will handle 400 hp easily. A stock TH400 could probably take a whole lot more. Probably one of the best automatic transmissions ever built.

Yes I plan on driving this on the street daily. If not a manual valvebody, how about a shift kit? If it was built to stock specs I doubt it had a shift kit put it. Is that something I can do myself?

I knew TH400s were strong, thats why I want to use it. 🙂 I already bought my Torque Arm and Crossmember for a TH400.
