You might consider a search, but I think many members are running 700R4's behind heavily modded engines.

i did the same thing... 350HO and 700r4. short on cash put the b&m shift improver kit in w/ the crate motor. tranny would turn the tires over from 1-2 on quarter throttle.

nowadays its doing ok, but i don't think its as happy as it used to be. i don't do crazy burn outs very often at all, but i like to juice it from a roll.
