Transmission choices...
I'm putting a GM crate ZZ383 in my '72 Monte (about 3500 lbs)
It is advertised as putting out 400-450 lb/ft from 2000 rpm upto 5500.
15" rims, cam duration is 222/230 I'd like to put a 700 R4 on it and have read here that I will probably blow it up. I plan to keep this car on the street 95% of the time so the OD would be nice. Any suggestions as to where in Canada I can find a reputable builder for my core or a bullet proof trans off the shelf, or do I have to get a TH400. Any other suggestions, I realize big dollars may be involved, so any tips on getting the best value is appreciated.
btw has anyone bought from Monster transmission on E-BAY?
