Get in touch with Moser, they should be able to supply the brackets to set the housing up.

Also, is the center case Nodular? (Big N on the front of it?). If not, it won't hold much over 400-450 hp. :thumbdown

You can pick up a Strange S-Series nodular good for over 650hp from our sponsor Quick Performance however. Its plenty strong but about $100 cheaper than the Pro series Nodular case which would be like what Nextel Cup cars run.

Im questioning the BOMBPROOF 700R4 myself.. Ive never seen or heard of such a thing.... Even the purpose built race ones dont seem to last more than a year in most peoples Higher HP rides..

[Capt. Insaino]

Go to the Corvette forums, and do a search for RPM transmissions. Then you'll be able to say you heard such a thing.

[Kenwood]

Really...I have not heard of them...Might be worth looking into...mey vette will be needing a new 700r4 as soon as the motor gets finished..

I just got done with mine last week. I made my own Z bars too so I don't have a torque arm anymore. I found only one place online that sells a bolt on torque arm mount. I went with a tractech locker and hate it, thinking about going with a spool. As far as all the brackets, I emailed Moser and they told me they do not sell the brackets so I just ground all mine off the old 10 bolt and used them. Let me know if ya need any help/advice.

[Lifeisgood]

thanks for the help.
im going to keep the torque arm, and fab a bracket up in class for it.
i might have to narrow it, i havent got to look into it that much. we dont get to start working on our car in school until next week.
i have 4 weeks to get the engine rebuilt, head and intake port and polished, and the rear installed with niew brake lines ran.lol so it should be interesting.
i hoping for mid 10's.
im going to introduce my self up in the top forum if anyone wants to know about the car.

that would be a good idea if the car is only on the strip, but its going to also be on the street some. i want the over drive. and it will last for a long time for the amount that im going to use it.
im not going to leave the internals stock, i understand why they break.
the clutch's and bands in those things, are smaller than the 4T60E that comes in most front wheel drive GM cars.

[Chris 96 WS6]

the 200r4 does have an overdrive, same as the 700.

[Lifeisgood]

well didnt know that, thanx for the info.lol
remeber im only 20. i still have alot to learn.lol

[snakeoilperformance]

ive seen a specific 422 powered malibu with a built 200r4 go off the trans brake on the bumper many of timess and hold up in a the same mid 9 sec car with LOTS of track and street abuse!! should get the job done!
