LS-2 needs a tranny

will a th 400 bolt to a ls-2?
I have been looking at a ls-2 crate and plan to supercharge it to around 600 hp and need a good tranny that is in my price range of $1000 to $2000

how important it that bolt?
I want a safe car and that scares me a little
----------
is there an adapter that would let it bolt up and still be strong enough for over 600 hp?

if your gonna install a LS2 why not get the proper trans for it? should be the same as a LS1 swap as far as dimentions correct? why not just get a trans from a 4th gen car with one of those?

many ppl run th350's and 400's on LS1's so it shouldnt be a problem to get it to hook up to a LS2

i'm not sure if their is a type of bellhousing or something to get it to bolt up 100%, but it should work either way
