What transmission should I swap (ADVICE NEEDED)
Hello I am an 18 year old who has had an 1987 Iroc Camaro for a little over a year now. I replaced the old 305 with a blueprint engines 350 sbc and kept the stock 700r4 in it. Now I make 400 whp and 415tq and I blew up the 700r4. Im really considered a 4l60e swap and using a standalone ECU to control it. Any thoughts? Should I go with another 700r4?

With the major difference just being the Valve-Body and the way in which it is Controlled (Throttle-Valve + Governor VS Power-Train Control Module).
Most of the Parts interchange and they both Blow-Up in the same ways!

(No Crossmember or Torque-Arm changes).
Later Model Year F-Body Cores will require a Crossmember, Bell-Housing, Flex-Plate, Torque-Converter, Pump/ Stator-Support, and Input-Shaft Changes to allow for a Swap.

I would not hesitate to rebuild the the 700-4r and build it for performance/endurance. it is a good tranny.

The THM700-R4 can be built for over 1,000 HP (by select Builders) not that you necessarily need that.
