48Ford with a '46. My good memories are from a '47 convert and I can still hear that funny starter sound, but I guess it is totally different with a 400 SBC in there. Welcome to CHR, there are a lot of very experienced folks here with great cars and they have been very helpful. I just ordered a beefed up 700R4 for a very mild 350 SBC based on conversations with several transmission shops who said a stock 700R4 could only handle about 280 H.P. so I wonder if the 200 trans will hold up with a 400 SBC? Just asking a question before it is too late to beef up the 200.
