I would stay with the 700r4 or a T5 mainly because if I'm not mistaken the turbo350 doesn't have an OD, and the 700r4 is pretty much better. If you decide to stay with an auto and get a used 700r4, DON'T get any 700r4's from early years "84-89" mainly because the 700r4 improved over the years and got better, the earlier ones are crap, go for a later one.
Swaping from a automatic to a manual is pretty simple as long as you have the stuff required for the swap, I think there is a tech article... ah here it is:
https://www.thirdgen.org/newdesign/t...nualswap.shtml
That should tell ya everything you need for the swap.
Also you might be interested in a T56 manual tranny "came in 350's"

Exactly what does a transmission have to do with swapping engines? Moving to the appropriate forum. Please, take the time to actually read the forum name and description before posting.

I love how a th700 plants your a$$ to the seat in 1st gear. OD is nice too. You'll be happier w/ a 700. Besides if you swap to a TH 350 you'll get a shorter 1st gear and closer spaced gear ratio's for all around driving but you'll lose OD and you have to get a different driveshaft. I believe the 350 is longer than a 700, or vice versa.

If you need a Street/Strip 700R4 (that will last, & comes with a one year warranty) then give me a call! 800 7763288 M-S 10-6 PST. If you get a chance, check out my web site at www.pro-built.net and you will see exactly what I do to these 700R4's. Let me know?
