I will answer question 2 first.
No, you can't drill. Not enough material.

Question 1 answer: see question 2 answer. The trans will hold up fine if you don't have it running.

Your 700R4 will die! Mine gave out after just several hours of drivetime with the motor in my sig.

I think your parents shouldent have let you build such a hot car at a young age, especially a street car!

As for problems the tranny will not hold up! You WILL NEED a TH400 or a very built TH350, also expect to fry the rear end.

I think the tranny will bolt up. 450+ HP is pushing it a little. On DD, i bet you it prob makes closer to the 350-365HP mark.

these guys say their 700r4 rebuild will handle 800 hp........dont know if thats true or not but im real happy with the performance after getting it done..........btw............you should do your tranny,rear, driveline and suspension b4 you do the motor............dont know but it seems like common sense to me

Hey man, let me know what the Predator carb is like. As far as I know, you're the only one on the board running one. I thought about it, but decided against it due to lack of resources/people who had experience running them. I'm curious as to how it performs.
