200c strong?
I have a 200c transmission in my 82 trans am that I just dropped a small block 350 in last week. It is pushing 330 horsepower and i was wondering If the 200c can be built strong ir if it will last me even though such a strain is being thrown at it?

It's weak. Mine was slipping pretty bad behind the 305 before the torque converter split apart. Get a TH350, built right it'll last a long time.

The TH200C is pretty much the lamest trans ever sold by GM. I went through 3 of them back when I ran the 305, broke the sun gear twice, smoked clutch packs, etc.
As mentioned above, a TH350 is a good replacement when used with B&M's swap kit (gotta hold that torque arm in place). You can even re-use your driveshaft.
