A well serviced Tri-matic will be just as good if not better than the TH350.
If you want to use a TH400 in the future I would keep the turbo block.
The turbo block you have is from a WB Statesman, so is a dead giveaway for an engine swap while the Q |
You only have to be in front at the end of the race. |

I think you need a nice HX V8 wagon Jim, swap the internals into the QT block and sell the turbo block.
Keep one van and ditch the rest. see you at work LOL
