My goal is to get it running NA and then once that is sorted out I want to fab up a turbo kit for it. Right now I am torn on that transmission to use as I eventually want to be in the 800-1000hp range once the chassis is sorted out. I want it to be reliable and streetable. It will be 50/50, race/street. I have a powerglide,th400 and 727 in the garage. Which one would you guys choose and why? Thanks!

These are not street driven tho. I just asked this same question of my transguy. If I put a blower motor in my car, can I use my proflite trans or the turbo 400s and add a brake. He responded turbo 400, Less service required, more readily available components as well for the 400.
