a 350 taking 30% of your horsepower ? that seems kinda high, were did you get that from, not saying it cant be right but ??? . anyway my brother had a 69 chevelle with about 375 hp and he put 40K on so far without any tranny problems. a 400 is definatly stronger but if the right guy ( my brother in law ) builds the tranny to suit the need, i dont think you will have a problem, not right away anyhow

The Chevelle is too heavy for a PG, you need more than 2 gears. I'd be thinkin' 700R4 with its deep first gear for acceleration and tall 4th gear for cruisin'.
