Re: opinions please

If I was you I would just rebuilt the 700 r4 with a kit from probuilt. They have never failed me yet, and boy has it taken a beating. The nice thing about the 700 is the overdrive. I love it. I guess if I had a choice I would either stick with the 700 or if I had the bank and knowledge swap to a T56.
Just my 2cents

Re: opinions please

the t-5 is pretty easy. there are ALOT of posts and info on how to do it. 700 to rebuild is prob the cheapest route. even with performance parts it would be cheaper to rebuild and run than doing a th-350 or 400 swap. I.E. buing a trans, converter and the t/a relocation bracket kit.

I would like to do a t-56 swap but the money is just not there. that is a nice swap but you have to have the $$$$ for it.
