it really depends on the status of the 700r4.Some people can get them to hold pretty well, other can break them easily.But i see more people bolting up the TH trans more now days

A 1988 and newer (stronger internals) can handle between 350-450 h.p.
Of course that would be a stock rebuilt one, not a sloppy used and worn one.

i thought the 350 was KIA with a cracked block
had the cracks repaired

and thanks for the info. i'm only looking at around 425-435bhp so it should hold up pretty well.
