How to make a th350 handle 500hp.450lb-ft

[browningbps]

I was wondering what would need to be done to a TH350 to handle this much power and torque? What products do I need to buy? what it a good convertor? All help is greatly appreciated. Need to get the trans rebuilt and back in the truck.

That sounds like alot of hp for a th350 to me. A good build th350 would handle it for a while I think but a th400 would handle a ton more. I would just find a th400 and then there's no worry about it.

I run a th350 in my 11 sec. street/strip car. Handles it no problem, just a rebuild with shift kit. The weight of a truck is what will kill it.

I know it WILL handle it for a while but not like yout light drag car. you said it, weight is the killer here.

Well its not that light at 3750 pounds but lighter than a truck.

call up tci or hughes, or mikes transmissions. for what all the parts would cost you it might be better to just buy one built from one of these guys.
