TH 350
I have a '78 Malibu. It runs 11.60 at 114 MPH - 1.65 60 FT with 406 TH 350 and 4.11 gears on foot brake. It weights 3,505 lbs. I was going to install a brake in the TH 350. The trans has a Race Master rebuild kit and a good reworked valve body. Has anyone put a brake in a trans like this with no other modifications and, if so, how long did it last?
Also, I have talked to a few trans guys and they tell me to put in a powerglide with a brake. - I thought that my car would be too heavy for the powerglide. Does anyone know if that's true, and would the car be slower with the powerglide?
I looking for some help/suggestions. Thanks in advance
