in a year or 2 I will be swapin my 305 on my 83 berlinetta for a built 350, The guy says it should have atleast 350hp, I need to know how or if I need to beef up my A4 tranny to handle this new power? thanks

 

The only real way to beef up your trans is to have it rebuilt. If it's just going behind a 350hp motor you'll be fine.

 

well thats good yeah the motor should put out 425hp max, well thats good to no. Thanks

 

Key questions:
How many miles on the tranny????
When was the last fluid change????
What color is the current fluid????
Does the fluid smell burnt?????
Is there any problems with the tranny now?????
Are you going to keep the stock Torque Convertor?????

If you are putting in a fresh motor with more HP, then you should beef up the tranny and differential.. If not, then this will be a problem in the future....JMO

Trannys can be rebuilt fairly good for around 600-900 dollars....

 

Yeah my guy gave me a qute of about 400, its got 160k miles on it.thanks for your help guys O and whats a good aftermarket tourqe converter for a A4 bolted to a 350
