Official boss block build

[Dillon Dollar]

I still owe bobby a hundred or too I think but all that is left to do is coat the kit I'm in no rush though because my engine still isn't ready

found it Good luck, its a hard number to hit and even harder to stay together

I'm concerned about reliably and keepen the thing together, i plan to stay on conservative side on street boost & tune.
Then wick it up at track or when playing hard.
I had the same plan as Dillon for my Boss 3valve until the car was totaled in accident, was already talking with JPC on turbo build. Now i ended up getting the new car so staying with the turbo plan with them. Mines going to be in the 10.5 - 10.8 cr range i believe.

8,050$ sounds ridiculous for turbo 400 3 speed trans you can get a 4r70w with overdrive cheaper. Plus it's friendlier on interstate / 4 lane hwy driving.
The 400 is very strong if built properly but not as highway friendly as the 4r70w.

I'm under the impression a th 400 is more reliable and will hold more power

The 400 can be built to be stronger than the 4R.
If you can live without overdrive and converter lock up its a great option and it's lighter than a 4R..
The only thing stronger than a built TH400 is a pwr glide.
But for street use car I'd do the 400 over glide.

If it will clear my turbo stuff I'll get one

$500 for a good condition 3650. $400 for a barely used 10 spline rst or rxt.

I paid $150 for my RST off of here a couple months ago. Sent it to Mcleod and they rebuilt and rehubbed it.

So if I asked 1000 shipped for everything do Yall think that would be a fair price

40k mile 3650
Hurst shifter
Driveshaft
8 bolt flywheel
McLeod clutch and pressure plate

Holly cow 8k!? I got mine that was built to hold 1500whp+ for 55 with converter and bell housing.

 

[Dillon Dollar]

I ended up getting everything including driveshaft for 4k.

You did good.
After all my upgrades i had 5,500.00 in my 4r70 with driveshaft it was rated at 1100 hp due to some billet upgrades i don't think that included the Billet converter.

 

[Dillon Dollar]

I got a billet input shift billet drum some special sprag and a few other things they told me it could handle 1500 wheel.

Anyone have any suggestions on gear choice. I have 373 buy I think it's too steep for the th400. The final drive is 1:1
