this is true, but for the moment I am running the stock setup out of the donor. i.e. the 700r4 that came mated to the 6.2 from the factory (out of the donor). I have no plans to boost power ratings for the imediate future. Just running stock. Also like every 700r4 of that vintage it's been rebuilt and the rebuilds tend to last far longer than the factory setups.
Also putting power and the 6.2 in same sentence is what has everyone above throwing wrenches. The stock C code is 130hp and peak torque around 250. That can be pushed to around 200hp and 350+ torque with J code and banks turbo. That is a whole other project for some other future.
Later if I go with a banks turbo etc. I will have to drop and rebuild/beef up the 700r4 or just bite the bullet and swap to the nv4500.
