Guest SlateFox Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 1971 Pontiac 350 V8 and TH350 transmission is this engine good? by good i mean how much hp is put behind it on average and is it reliable for a z car like my 79 280zx?

80LS1T Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Im not sure on the HP/TQ output of those engines back then but I would guess that their around 200HP stock. I would highly suggest not going with the TH350 or TH400 unless you only plan to drag races. They are 3 speed trannys with no overdrive. This makes for bad gas milage on the highway and not to mention its annoying driving at 65mph @3000rpms! Trust me, I had a 3 speed with my L28 and I hated driving that thing at highway speeds! Go with a 700R4 if you want an auto or a WC T5 for a manual(or if you got the $$$ a T56 for a manual tranny). You will be much happier in the end!

BrandonsZ Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 It would fit, no problem, and you can even get most of the nedded parts at JTR, but I agree with SlateFox, no three speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
