Default 4 speed auto

I would like to put a 4 speed automatic behind a 400hp sb. I would appreciate any feedback. The car is a 1976 Stingray. Working on front and rear suspension right now. Trying to plan out a drivetrain, motor trans and rear.

I'm about to put a 700r4 in mine, the crossmember is available to make the swap a bit easier. I believe the 200 is an easier swap but the 700 will handle more power/torque.

I disagree
Go and visit the Turbobuick fourms. They are putting some serious hp through the 2004r.

We actually offer a 4 speed automatic transmission for the C3 vette. It is based on a 4L60E and comes complete with everything you need. PM if you'd like more information.
