[Gmecm] TPS for diesel

[burntkat at sc.rr.com]

BTW-- what's a 500? We're talking about a 350-- 5.7L V8. There's lots 
of people running the 700R4 behind them, with no problems at all. Last 
I checked the 5.7 only puts out about 270 ft/lbs of torque-- WELL 
within the comfort range of any decent 700R4 build. Many gasser 700's 
live with this sort of torque on them with no problems-- even more 
torque, in fact. Ft/lbs are ft/lbs...

you may know something I don't-- so please, expand on this. If there's 
some sort of "gotcha" hiding in the wings, I'd like to know about it. 

<truth is, the torque and longevity issue are why I nixed the idea of 
a Cummins 4BT buildup. Too much torque, too low RPNs, and not enough 
fluid flowing in the 700 at that speed to properly apply the clutches.>
