350 turbo trans
I'm wanting to have my 350 rebuilt. It's 63 K mile unit & forty years. Leaking at front pump seal. I want at least a stage 2 around at least 5 to 6 hundred horse power. Does any one in Kansas City area that can build one like that???? The freight cost are eating me up. Thank you. Gene

1... what’s a stage 2 ?
2.... you want it to handle 500 to 600 hp . I assume you want a manual shift valve body too or does this need to shift automatically?
3 .. is this a 1980 T350C with Lock up Torque Converter ? If so do you want to retain the “ lockup “ feature ?
4 .. have you talked to any local transmission shops and or talked to any repair shops for automatic transmission shop referrals in the local area ?

In the interest of full disclosure I am wrapping up a TH350 swap to a 4L60E. The reason for the choice was to get the programability of the E types, but I didn't what any surprises fitting in an 4L80E. Not looking to start a debate on this as there are a lot of factors technical, install, and monetary, and each of us will weigh them and decide what is best the best choice for us.
