Does anyone out there know what horsepower/torque a stock 700R4 can handle??

Just got my upgrades..heard my engine on the phone from Georgia...OMG!!!! Its going to rock. Desktop Dyno is showing right around 400-410hp and 420torque...depending on the cam of course.

I want a new tranny eventually, and a new rear end with posi since I didnt have that initially. But dont want to shell out the dough just yet...so I want to know what it can handle and how far I can push it before I am forced to buy one.

Thanks,

Patrick

I think more important is the TV adjustment. I've seen the 700r4 behind 700ps rigs. So it can be built to work. But if the TV adjustment is off . A chevette will smoke it.

what do you mean TV adjustment and how do you adjust it?? I am new to all this so forgive me if I ask a stupid question like that...I am learning almost every day from reading here.

Thanks again,

Also, was it a stock 700r4 you were talking about?? I have been looking at some modded, heavy duty ones, online before I decide which way to go with it.

Thanks,

Patrick

Roy, thanks for that web site. I'm getting ready to put a 700 trans in my 69. And after reading the info on that site I'll probably go ahead and replace my 4.10 posi with the 3.08 posi I got.

I hate this site sometimes. I can't get pictures up and it locks up alot on me. Must be my 56K modem.

Hey when you replace that posi, wanna sell me the other one?? would it fit an 89 TA??

It would take some work It's originally out of a 81 TA.
It's now in my 69 Camaro.
I had to cut off the mounts and put the 69's on it.
Your 89, I think has coil springs. You'd have to strip it down and weld it to fit yours.

Thats a bit much for me to try to do. But I got a good offer for one that I could pick up when I am back in the states, could get it all installed for about $175 from a 93 Z28. Not sure which ratio it has, but Posi is something I want. Also gotta figure this Tranny thing out...which way I want to go with it. Stay with 700R4 or try something different...anyone got any suggestions???

Thanks again,

Patrick
