running an auto at extreme angles?

[sled_dog]

Been heavily thinking my 383 will end up with propane so now I'm wondering if the trans will be able to run the angles the propane would? This is a 700R4. What kind of angles can an auto trans get up to?

30 some odd thousand off my own miles , hundreds offroad at all kinds of angles , no problems . I run a cooler now but didn't for 3 years of use . Some of the hills here are steep enough so you see sky before you reach the crest

And then w ehave nearly everyone here running autos in the built truggys , they get real tippy and have way more power and they seem to hold up .........except Russ's

They can handle some pretty decent side angles. TheRobzilla gets almost to 90* before he looses tranny prime and the truck stops. His is a Th350.

Here is a pic. Rob is probably very close to loosing tranny prime here if he already hasn't. The second an third pics I am pretty sure he had lost tranny prime.

Stock, a Th350 will loose prime anywhere beyond what would be considered "moderate angles". In fact, it will be able to handle driver's side up less than passenger's side up by a few degrees due to offset pick-up.

However, with a "+3" pan and offset pick-up, I can go nearly onto the side before "loosing prime". This is basically the same thing Rob and most of the rock guys do to get more angle.

I also run about 1 qt over full. Any more than that and it blows it out.

that helps I was planning on a deeper pan anyway.

I run a 700r4 and my buddy has a C6 and neither of us have had problems. In fact, I have a picture hanging up on my desk at work with my K5 climbing a very steep hill when I got crossed up in a rut so the driver's side front was about 2 feet off the ground.
