Congrats on your Dyno. Strong Tq and now you have a baseline to compare.
You'd be outta control with some serious power.

I stumbled across another deal, while on the road in Georgia

Found a Stage3 built 700r4 from Outlaw Transmissions and a tranny cooler

This is from a guy who's project has changed direction, his loss my gain, now to go by the shop that built it and try to get the warranty transferred, This tranny has never been bolted up to a motor.
Now for a trq converter in the 25/2800 lockup range

My 84 went under the mod knife this past week, removing the tranny, and installing the new 700r4 stage 3, ( rated for 700hp, with a stage 2 shift kit) , and a 2600 stall convertor, replaced the old tranny lines with all new, and replumbed loactions of the trans coolers, and the addition of a B&M Megashifter. System now has at least a 13 qt capacity now.

Also did a little fat trimming, removed the old a/c compressor, and mounting brackets, condensor, and lines, left the evaporator in place for now. Also did a little cleaning/polishing of the aluminum and stainless and chrome underhood. Fabbed a new front airdam deflector out of stainless.

Did a little test driving while fine tuning the TV kickdown cable, also made it out to the PC show, everything feels good, firm shifts between gears with a hard 1/2 shift.

Hey Buddy, looks and sounds good! Glad you could use those muffs. Now is that a true duel setup?

Longtube headers to the X-over then the mufflers dumped right the axle.
So that would mean I now have true duals....

the starting point


everything on the topside is either removed / disconnected / unbolted,
progress is placed on hold due to work schedule, heading out of town sunday am.
upon return the bottom side will be tackled.
