Thread: I need a transmission th 400 rated about 1000 horses

Driver - I don't know whether you would want to go this route or not, or even whether it would be wise to do so, but there is an older gentleman that lives fairly close to me - I'm north of Fort Worth - who is considered to be very knowledgeable and probably the best in our area. He is retired from General Motors and has 30+ years of transmission experience with them.

He has a really clean and well equipped shop at his home in the town of Haslet.

He doesn't advertise and gets his business from referrals. He did some work on our daughter's Cavalier and completely rebuilt my TH 400. He knows what he's doing.

He did send my converter out to another guy.

The thing is, I don't know whether he has done transmissions for extreme applications like yours or not, he possibly has. Or, in fact, he may not even want to. Don't know, but if he did he'd probably want his customer to provide whatever special components would be necessary for hard racing.

If you think you would like to talk to him, send me a PM and I'll give you his name and phone number. He's a nice guy, and it may not even be a long distance call for you. Not sure.

Good luck with it,

Jim
