Thanks for the vid brother, very insightful. Pro tip. Get a head mount go pro or a stand to free up your hands. You already have great quality looking and sounding videos. I think it would help us out🤙
Ive always used T400s in all my drag cars. Better to just start with a beefier unit designed for heavy duty use. Good, simple, strong transmission. Bolt right into a G-body with a 200R4 crossmember. Even stock shift linkage bolts right up. Easy swap.
I always here about hp...does vehicle's weight become a determining factor? honestly im looking to buy a transmission and im between a 350 and 400 so this video came in clutch...im a disabled vet so I only get to spend money once a year on a bigger purchase so if I make a bad choice its a long year paying for it... any info I'd greatly appreciate brother 💪🏽🇺🇲
GM used T400s behind big blocks, T350s behind small blocks & six cylinder engines. T400 strongest auto trans made. 36 ft 454 RV that weighed around 18,000lbs had a T400 in it. I wonder how long a T350 would last in that application.
Th350 are so underrated and they been proving to hold 1000s of hp in stock form even with 4 clutch direct I make 890whp and it’s holding just fine and 400 are also good but I’ll choose 350 IMO FOR QUICK AND FAST 400 for tq and weight
Ill never be able to make the decision between 2-3-4spd on my car. Keep leaning toward an 80e other than parts are pretty steep. Just the normal 900ish hp tubro ls car around 3000#
@@jakeshoe in theory it is true because of the heavier parts of the 400, simple physics. The question is how noticable is it in the real world. A direct comparison would be nice. Running myself a TH400 and think about a swap to 350 but is it worth the effort and money?
I ran a turbo 350 with a Hughes kit trans break two extra reverse clutches a .060 thick also two two extra direct clutches the stock input drum and input shaft A HD spray in my methanol powered small block 427 NO power adder . The car with me weighed 2720 it made 660 hp it ran 1.25 to 1.30 short times 9.28 in the 1/4 mile for six years never a problem . Launched it at 3500 to 4000 off the trans break . I took it out to inspect it it was like I just put it together. It was tied in to a 8.5 GM diff with a 33 Moser spline spool and axels .
Excellent! Have never seen the comparisons between the 3 most common transmissions used by GM. Impressive how much power they can actually handle!
3 garbages but good videos

Thanks for the video , so what would you recommend a 350 turbo or a 400 for a 383 full roller stroker motor ??
400

I have a 84 caprice sedan just fyi so not a small car

There are cheap alternative hard parts from coan for the th350 handle lots of power.

The parasitic drag of the 400 is much greater than a 350.
That's the internet myth but doesn't prove true in the real world.

Not enough to matter.
I would think it would be ok behind a Ford
Yup, it's kinda like a fuse
lube curcuit is better on a 400 than 350 also
