Default Auto Trans Help!

I am trying to digest all the information I can about T-350 Transmission. The real question is can I build one with manual valve body to survive behind a Nasty Big Block. Lets use the argument that shifting to a T-400 would be harder than it sounds (long story but true). Is is possible to do this? If so who in central florida could do this. I have talked to guys that have 1000+ passes with 700-800 HP BC with T-350.

fuzzy dice might be capable of putting you into contact with FTI, which I believe is near Orlando

Call Lonie at extreamautomatics.com.I run his 400 turbo in my 86 and I beat the snot out of it and it was only 1300.00.He uses a grinder valvebody and it fits right in the car.
