700 durability behind a 383
Im planning on building a 383 and am also looking at putting in a 6 speed but later on. that is depending on if anyone can tell me about how long a 700 would last behind a 383 I just rebuilt it about 2 years ago using a TCI kit and doing all the mods that TCI does other than the valve body mods in which I had already installed a BNM shift kit in it. any ideas or I may just wait and put the 6 speed in first and hold off on the 383 bit but just looking for input.
thanks
