sexual harrassment panda I see a red door and I want to paint it black Donating Members 5,919 Member For: 15y 6m 4d Gender: Male Location: Far north queensland Posted 12/04/12 10:04 PM Share Posted 12/04/12 10:04 PM doubt it mate, a few guys on here have gone the powerglide route or a c4have to remember that these motors are a long stroke design so will be putting a lot more torque through the gearbox for the same hp at the engine Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79676-hello-from-the-us/page/2/#findComment-1221863 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as you want mega ponies a glide would probably be better!Looking fOrward to this build if it's gonna happen :D Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79676-hello-from-the-us/page/2/#findComment-1221878 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderbirdsc Member 6 Member For: 13y 18d Posted 12/04/12 11:23 PM Author Share Posted 12/04/12 11:23 PM I am not worried about my trans not being able to handle the power. I dont know how it is down there but the 4r70 can be built to handle well over 1,000 rwhp and same for torque. my current trans is a race spec build with almost double the number of clutches and steels, trans brake valvebody, custom built pump assembly, billet stub shaft and etc.my main concern is the bellhousing pattern... I can get a 4r70w case with either the 3.8/302/351w pattern or the modular 4.6/5.4 pattern.I will not run a turbo 400! they are GREAT transmissions but I wont do it to my car when I have so much in my trans setup already.sooo.... does it share a pattern with any of the V8's or is it by itself?

Impellor Member 835 Member For: 14y 9m 10d Gender: Not Telling Posted 12/04/12 11:40 PM Share Posted 12/04/12 11:40 PM Brandon, your best bet would be to email Brad at Atomic Performance in relation to any questions you have. It may be an opportunity for him also (if he hasn't already) to start up a US outlet. As you are currently working in the Modification industry this could also be an area for expansion for yourself.

Maitland Posted 13/04/12 10:37 AM Share Posted 13/04/12 10:37 AM Hi Brandon, there's a crazy guy on this forum called Spiro who's building a twin cam 4 litre targeting 2000hp. Also google 1TUF65 look for a 65 orange mustang with a 4 L single cam ford six on LPG running 8's.
