Hi,
I inherited a TH350 w/manual valve body, but am unsure what shift kit it has.
I have been "advised" a Stage 3 Shift kit is standard upgrade with manual valve body.

Can I drop the pan and inspect the plate/ball/holes to determine what it is? If so what am I looking for?

Also I was advised with my build, and if a Stage 3 Shift kit is in the tranny I could end up putting the car sideways at shifts.
Here is build:
Engine is a .040 over balanced 400 small block
Block is decked and drilled for steam holes
Scat 9000 crank
Scat forged 4130 5.700" Rods, ARP Bolts
Mahle pistons 10:44 compression
Competition valve train
Crane gold full roller rockers
Competition Cam 284xe.
AFR 210 Fully CNC Heads.
Hogged out RPM Air Gap Manifold
Holley 750cfm double pumper
2400 TCI Stall Converter
TH350 transmission with manual valve body
new 5 leaf springs and inboard shocks
3:77 posi with 265/60/15 BFG's - Upgrade to Mickey T Streets in summer.

Your thoughts?
Thanks

You'll be fine. I think someone wants to get your tranny or money.
