Holy mother... Have you asked how much it would be to just upgrade your valve and change out the clutch packs (I think that's what they're called) with a beefier version?
some questions... oil pump/trans.... fuel sys...
- Thread starter lppro
- Start date
not really it was a very brief conversation... once he said "we can try to keep it under $3000" i said "ok ill let you know..."...
IPT will rebuild your A340E for $2875. (They say it is good for 10s in the 1/4 mile).
You can buy the parts alone for about $1k from them.

Stock, an A340E is good for about 350 HP...even then, how long it's going to last is questionable if it has a lot of miles on it. After IPT got done with mine, it would bark 2nd gear...don't expect the uber smooth shifts like a stock A340 when IPT gets done with it
BTW - I also would get a new oil pump and shim the relief valve 2-3mm with washers. I would also get rid of the stock filter head and convert to a thermostat controlled cooler circuit and remote filter head. Doing both will improve your oil pressures significantly
this looks like its gana cost me 2 much... anyone want to buy a stock a340e with 65000 miles on it?(=im going r154...
you could always get a GM auto.... TH400 and whatnot
