What is the best year 700r4. I thought it was 88+ but i forgit. Also, i have the option of using a 200r4, as this is going in my nova. Is it worth building a 200? I know they were in gn and ss monte, but those will be hard to find. I will be runnin about 350hp sbc in a heavy car with 4.10s.

 

get a turbo 350 in one of those. itd be fun personally.

700r4 have a really low 1st gear and wouldnt work well with ur 4.10s. and they are very power robbing.

200r4 are more accessible than you would think. at least here in central florida

 

Just got a 89 700r4 with the converter, tv, and ds yoke for $110. drove it before i pulled it shifts great. I would've went th350 but i gotta have an od. It was too cheap to pass up anyway. I guess i answered my own question, The cheap one! thanks for reading.

 

The '88-'92 700R4s are the best ones to get. You got an '89, so you should be in good shape.

 

Make sure you hook up the cable to your carb/fuel injection in your nova. If you don't, damage to your cheap transmission will occur and then it would be an expensive transmission to fix. The cable is different than a th350 cable which is only used for kickdown versus T.V. on a 700r4 for pressure.
