best transmission for my set up?

[trc54]

I'm doing a 451 stroker and its a 3 speed car. It's going to see alot of street use so I looked at the gear vendors unit and its 3500$! Can a nag1 from modern srt8s work? Is there a 4 or 5 speed 727 out?

I assume you have a 727. How out a lockup converter? I seem to recall summit selling a lockup mechanism that works with your current converter. It is push button operation and wont lockup unless its in 3rd gear (regardless of pushing the button). Lock that converter up and it'll be just like shifting to a higher gear. Prob cost ya $100.

The 200R4 is a very formidable transmission. It has close gear ratios and is a stout transmission. It can be upgraded to handle a stout big block. No floorpan cutting required.

700r4 or 200r4?

How hard would a manual swap be?

American Powertrain would have everything you need.
Rebuilt pedal assemblies can be had at Brewers performance.

How difficult is the swap? Will a tk56 bolt up?

The shop I used said that th T56 fits nicer than T600 I used. Had I not already bought the T600, I would have went T56 myself.

So how much did the swap in cost in the end?

200. The 700 will be slow.

A small fortune or a pile of money. Which ever is the bigger of the two. ;)

If you are purchasing an overdrive package that will support the output of a built 451 (500HP?) then I think $3500 will probably be what it will cost to get you there, whether it be a standard or automatic.
