Well,

I think I'll probably be going with this A500 from Pheonix, what do you
think Mark?

#PTA500SS
Our street/strip model capable of up to 395 horsepower is modified with
high performance bands and clutch packs, special valve body, and servo
modifications. Included is our high performance converter with stall speeds
up to 2800 rpm. A great trans for the Magnum crate engines. $1495

Not a bad price either...

Later,
Tom "Slick"
