Weighing out my options for buying an 87-88 auto Turbo Coupe, i wont be leaving it stock so i know the stock trans isn't going to handle it. Spent alot of time looking at ways to upgrade the a4ld, i really don't want to be a guinea pig. So i found a canfield 2.3 to sbf adapter plate last night and that got my gears turning. First question i have is will a stock v6 4R70W with a us shift tcm handle 350 ft/lbs at the crank? Would be using a converter with around 2.5 tq multiplication so up to 875tq at the input shaft. Will have mostly easy street miles but about 20-30 passes a season. I don't expect the stock 4r70w to last forever but a couple years would be nice.
Heres a list i compiled, feel free to make suggestions or add to it.
