i am looking for a cheap 4-speed for my 400. i was thinking about getting a muncie but those cost a lot to get. i am just wondering what is a good yet cheap trans to get that can stand up to about 400hp and maybe 450ft/lbs? As long as it will last a while until i could upgrade to something better. i am also a student and dont have a lot of cash that is why i am asking you guys this. thanks.

M-21 HD will survive the 455 (has a TH400 output shaft size, and a fine-spline inputr shaft, and the 1"countershaft support) on the street. Butt,

...add slicks and it's crushin roulette.

I heard that some company makes a HD case for Muncies that really help the durabilty. Original cases will twist and bind. Makes quick shifts hard to do consistantly.
A chrysler HD A-833 will handle the abuse if you don't mind the weight. You might have to do some modifications for it to fit though.

Nope! No cheap ones that will fit your bill!
Munci's or the later T-10's will run 400 for a used one of unknown abuse and then figure 250+ for a rebuild!

Usually I'm found working on my Pontiac. If you want to find me Look for the white picket fence and all the old Pontiacs parked outside. And the half dissembled engine sprawled all over the driveway!
