This is a great thread for info I will need. I will be running a 396-325 HP combo in my 65 Impala I am building now. This is the same same motor out of my 68 Impala I raced 10 years ago but with a Jerico. I never ran the motor on a Dyno but using those HP Caculators shows 500 HP at flywheel but no torque figures. I will be using a TH350 that I bought back in 2002 for $800 . I know it has a manual valve body plus the the lower 1st gear upgrade (2.76?) but besides that don't know much about it. It has been sitting since then never used. Sounds like I should check for that roller clutch and just upgrade for the drum/sprag and be done with it. This is not a "dime rocket" but you know... If i still had the Jerico and clutch. damn.
