Ok Big question...will it last

Or more clearer how long? I am dropping a 350 with ZZ4 heads, ZZ4 cam, and Edelbrock headers, plus the mods already on the car. How will my 700-R4 hold up to the motor? The tranny has 70,000 miles on it and so far I haven't had any problems with it whatsoever. That doesn't always mean it will last though. With this motor going in it has got me a little worried that my tranny will be gone soon after. What is the life expectancy of my tranny? Thanks for any input given.

Ask a tranny shop that doesn't want every penny you work for and tell them you would like to know how to be easy yet rough on your trans for maximum life. Then when it does go out take it to them to have them fix it and they can know how to beef it up.

Well I already talked to one reputable guy and he said not more than a year. I just wanted to get a general concensus from you guys on what you feel how my tranny will hold out. Anyone care to guess?
