Can My Trans Hold This
I HAVE AN 88' SC W/ 3.42 POSI UNIT AND A 357( 350 .040 OVER)
I WAS WOUNDERING IF MY 700R4 WOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE THIS ENGINE. IT IS GOING TO HAVE DOUBLE HUMP HEADS W/ 1.94/1.50 VALVES, A CAM WITH NO MORE THAN 500 LIFT, PERFORMER INTAKE, HOLLEY 600, SHORTY HEADERS, FLOWMASTER EXHAUST. TELL ME HOW LONG YOU THINK IT WILL LAST OR IF IT SHOULD HOLD UP FINE.

If it doesn't last at least you'll have bragging rights to blowing your tranny.
Seriously, if you're worried, go easy. Any auto will self-destruct with abuse. A stock 700-R4 should handle about 300 HP. To be safe install a tranny cooler. Heat is the death of automatics.
