Anyone running a 4.3L/TH400/Doubler?

Well, I might just bolt my TH400 and Doubler up to my 4.3L since no one wants to buy the TH400 & Doubler. Anyone running a 4.3L in front of a TH400, just wondering how much power the TH400 is going to suck up from the 4.3L. The engine is a stock 1995 CMFI with 191hp & 260ft lbs.

If the vehicles pretty light , it may work out well . I am constantly amazed at Marvs 1.6 liter hamster wheel climbing the rocks with dual cases .

A 4.3L/TH400 is a gutless wonder

Some of the Chevy vans came like this. I don't recommend driving one. I also drove a stock K2500 4.3L/4L80E with 4.56s... it was better, but not great.

Maybe going wild on the gearing is the key. Stay off the highway though.

I'll be running 5.13's and 38" TSL's, so it should be able to move.

It should work.....

Won't be no speed demon, but that's apparently not what you're after anyway...

The setup will be going into a YJ.

well hell, no problem then! those lil things hardly weigh anything... and the biggest engine they ever came with stock was a 4.0 right? 4.3 oughta be fine... especially with 5.13s and a doubler...

Pete, it will work fine. It should not be much different then a K5 with a 350.
