How much hp can a th-700r4 handle? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Cliff25 · 04-04-2002, 04:11 PM

Does anybody know how much a TH-700R4 tranny can take? I'm planning on producing around 600HP!!!! No time soon, I'm planning on this being about a year and half to two year project. Mainly due to $$$$$$$. Maybe I should try to find some sponsorers.

The guy that built my 700R4 is planning on putting one just like in a 32 Ford with a Blown HEMI!!. As long as they are built right people say they can take alot of power.

Try JET, TCI or most most tranny builders. They can offer a unit rated up to 500 to 600HP. I had mine made to withstand 700HP and 600TQ. I have been happy with it so far!! Rock on people!!

I agree with the fellas. The 700R4 must be built for the abuse. I have one up to about 500 HP and like it.

Have the tranny built by a reputable shop and you should not have any problems.
