Hi! Okey, I will probably have a 455 -71 engine in my electra, but, what transmission is the best choise to the engine? Th400? I would like to have a strong one and with lookup/overdrive, and what I know there aint any th400 with this? - Or is it silly to search for a tranny with lookup and overdrive to this project? (my idea are not to build a extreme racecar, but a strong, fun and "economic" cruiser)
BOP 200-R Trans but you perhaps should have it upgraded for the 455 torque which is more than its original design capacity.
I'm running a 700R4 with a lockup torque converter in mine (GS Skylark)and like it real well. Mike D.
Here are a couple of very good 200-4R transmission places: http://ckperformance.com/ http://www.ptsnctb.com/mcartfree/default.asp
bowtie overdrives .com or raptor trans does overdrive trans you could go with a low gearset in 400 and a external overdrive unit. either way overdrive trans will be a bit pricey to get it "right" a good 2004r will cost to hold up .also you need to set the detent cable up right before you start engine or it could cause a problem with pump . so get everything set up correctly . . andy
So... lets se.... I'm not so happy about rebuild it stronger.... Just want to plug and play.. Whats the best choise if i dont want to change anything in it, Regular TH400, 200-4R, TH700 Th700 = strong enough for a 455, more or less strong then the regular th400 ? -Is it tricky to assemble the th700 on a 455, I have seen adapters to do it, whats the price in US for a such adapter?
