th350 rebuild kit?
stevef:
Since I have to rebuild my th350, as I mentioned below, what's a good kit? My car is a 79 TA, stock 403 engine with 185 hp and 320 ft/lb torque. Maybe a little more with the true dual exhaust, no cat. Edelbrock performer intake, that probably doesn't help other than weight savings, and a matching, mild Performer cam(off idle-5500 range). The trans came with a mild shift kit. Shifts are quicker but not hard. I won't be racing, just cruising. No stop light racing or burnouts. I see a multitude of kits on eBay. Any suggestions for a good brand that'll last, but not be overkill for my use? Thanks!
Cliff Ruggles:
I don't do many transmissions these days so no longer use Transtar for parts. There are PLENTY of kits on Ebay at rock bottom prices. Look for complete kits that have frictions, steels, thrust washers, bushing (full set), band, filter, modulator, gaskets and seals. I ALWAYS replace both sprags in a TH350 build no matter how good they look. No need to opt for the hardened outer sprag race for what you are doing.
I'd recommend my book on the TH350 as well......Cliff

Thanks for the great advice Cliff. Good to know about the sprags! Now I know what to look for. I bought your th350 book several years ago, and it's been helpful. I have your Q-jet book too by the way, and have bought about 6 carb kits from you over the last few years. Will buy more pretty soon. Thanks again.
