700r4 would be the easiest swap. But a turbo350 may be a better swap if your gonna be making lots of HP and want a cheaper, strong, and reliable tranny. Having that extra gear never hurts tho...

It depends on how the car will be used. If it will see significant time at the track and will still be driven on the street I would suggest the 2004R. Simply because the gear ratios are closer than the 700R4.
If mostly street driven and little track time I would recomend the 700R4.
If it is going to be strictly a strip car then I would go with the TH350.
The 2004R can be rebuilt to hold lots of power and torque, just ask the GN guys with their 3.8 turbos.
Hope that helps.
