700r4 differences?

Couple questions about the 700.

1.Is there a difference in strength and torque rating between a 700 behind a 305 and and a 350?
2.What 700 trans are the "better" ones?*88 and up,89 and up?

Thanks for the reply.I was always under the impression that the later 700's were a bit stronger than earlier ones.Better internals.Maybe I was thinking of the corvette 700.Oh well thanks!

There were a number of hydraulic changes made then which contribute to the performance and longetivity of the transmission.

So it is best to get a later 88 and up trans then?

Re: 700r4 differences?

Yes. Any of the later improved hard parts can be put into an earlier case, but only the later cases have the hydraulic differences.
