i run a th-400 and its 100 % stock other then a brake and i have less then $ 1200 and ive gone 9.02 @ 154 + and i weight 3330#,s and sixty 1.26 all day long with stock suspension so do what you feel is right its all about your pocket book and rossler isnt the only person who can build you a killer 400 cheers

There is alot of difference between a 350 GM and a BBF. If you insist a 3 speed,the C4/C6 would be my choice,but NOW,I prefer a Glide w/my setup. My car 60' 1.25 w/loose converter and I cant imagine the violence w/launch if I had the low gear of a 3 speed.

So 100% stock meaning no extra clutches and no thrust washers changed to torrington bearings no deep pan , with stock clutches. All you have is a stock trans with valve bodie and bellhousing?

Sure you can, in fact you'd spend less on the C6.

I'm sure there are several tranny builders on this site that would love to take that challenge.
