Attn; CKP, Jake, others

q.1. What parts are needed to make a 200R4 live in a 3000lb A-body Elcamino with 420/420 RWHP/TQ?
I only want to build it once. A slight over build it ok with me.

q.2 I pulled a core from an Olds 98 with what looked like a BOP 403ci. Super clean new install and 03/20/07 was writen on the converter. Is that a good core to build on?



Back ground
My info
Pro EFI tuner, Dyno Op, ASE certs,
I build 4L60E's for myself and about one client a year for 500-600RWHP 4000lb+ street / trac cars that live. And have built one nice Glide.

The Car
1967' El Camino 3100lb with driver and fluids
Zero decked, HR 383, high lift / low overlap, torque moster on pump gas at 11.8:1
420RWTQ from 2500RPM to 5100RPM Dynojet 224XLC SAE corr.
thats thru a Power Glide with a stock converter and calced 27% slip at 5100RPM
10-15K miles a year Daily driver, 1/4 mile and autocross once a year
motor was built to match the weaknesses of the Glide but $3.60+ a gal. is killing us in CA at 10K+mile$ a year

Don't know about the VB might have problems with shift timing.
I'd say with that much power a good shift kit, dual feed directs, & a billet forward drum.
Here's a LU diagram, I just omitted the 4th press. switch & put in a toggle switch & it can be locked in 2nd on up.
