I am trying to find out info for the 454. Not about the transmission. I was going to post a separate thread about it. Thanks for the info given about the transmission. It is CRAZY there are so many different shops contradicting each other about this issue. I have had quotes from several shops, including Monster saying a 700R4 is adequate, if built properly. Now I don't doubt you guys know what you are talking about, not in the least. I certainly don't know crap about auto transmissions. I am SORRY I even typed in 700R4 in the original post. Even if I go with a manual transmission, I am still looking at the same thing with the 454, same goals if possible. However, I am not working on the transmission yet, I am attacking the engine first. Which is why I started this thread, I am looking for help with the 454. Thanks in advance.
