The 700R4 I had built by Phoenix Transmissions out of Weatherford, TX will work up to 450hp and they have ‘em up to 575hp.  Other mfgs such as Bowtie advertise up to 600hp.  As I said, unless the engine is going to be extremely built, the 700R4 and even a well built 2004R will hold up nicely.  The 700R4 has a much lower first gear (3.06) compared to a TH400 (2.48) so it’ll launch a bit easier in a heavy car.  In addition, the O.D. is great for the highway over the 1:1 of the TH400.   Dale McIntosh 67 El Camino 1967 Chevelle Facts CD in progress ACES #1709/TC Gold #92 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, February 19, 2005 10:58 PM To: Chevelle-list@chevelles.net Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] 1970 chevelle 454   i dont think that 700 r will hold up long behind that 4 bolt , my tranny guy says no ,  trade that puppy for a 400 you will go farther in the end
