Im getting ready to build a 200-4r to replace my th350 and go behind my newly rebuilt 406. Im looking tips, tricks, ideas, etc:
I know that some of the 2004rs are better than others. Im able to get either a 85-87 core for $ 100 or a grand national one that a guy was using in his camaro for $300. Which one should I go with?
I read that going with full manual valve body will eliminate the TV cable, and I know that wrong adjustment of the TV cable will quickly ruin the tranny within a few miles - after putting $1k into the transmission and having it be drag raced, shifting all the time wouldn't bother me and is a small price to pay to ensure that nothing can go wrong. Any comment on this idea?
(The Build will include the super rebuild kit(with the extra frictions in the front and overdrive packs) and hardened forward drum from CPT. Transgo stage 2 shift kit, 13 vane pump upgrade, wide kevlar band from Bulk. Hardened sun shell, hardened stator, .500 boost valve, and HD pump rings and slide spring from OPT. And a HP servo such as a superior) Anything Im missing here? Is billet forward drum necessary? 406 will ~470TQ and 425HP, planning for around 500 in both later and 150 shot nitrous way later
