Monster Transmission
« on: February 25, 2011, 08:39:05 pm »
Since the big block is in the "final" stages at the machine shop, it's time to put in a tranny.  I am gonna go with a 700R4.  Has anyone ever purchased from, owned, or had any experience with Monster Transmission?  I do like the fact that they have a 3 year / unlimited mileage warranty.  The conversion pkg runs about 1800 bucks but has everything but the fluid.  Just wanting some info before "pulling the trigger".  Oh yeah, I'm changing from a TH350.
Thanks,
Fidd

Can't help you out with monster transmission but what is up with the big block? Is the 700r4 you ordered going to handle the big block you're building?

There are two tools needed, duct tape and WD40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the WD 40.

That's a lot of engine for the 700r4.  Have you considered using a 4L80E?

I'm not planning on doing any towing with the truck.  I was going to the R4 mainly for the overdrive for when travelling on the highway.  Is the R4 weak behind a big block 427 that is used as a daily driver?  My engine builder says I can expect around 450 hp and 450 tq plus or minus a few. I also plan on going with an Eaton LSD and 3:42 gears.  This is a 2wd and not 4x4...not dropped or slammed but stock height.  Thanks again to all.  I will work on some pix later this evening.

The 700R4 should work fine with the proper upgrades since you aren't building a nasty big block. The 4L80E is a better choice but more $$$
