I am about ready to put a trans in the car I pulled the v6 version of the 700 r 4 out of it and I have all the parts to put one back in should I Put a v8 bellhousing 700r4 in the car or should I go with the th 350 or th 400? what do you guys recommend? Any input is much appreciated

 

I believe this will be decided on what you want from your car and also how you drive. Remember when you decide that the TH350 and 400 have no overdrive.

 

Yea I'm leaning real hard towards the 700r4 bc i got all the parts xmember etc and its got an extra gear and overdrive

 

You can build up the 700r4 to with stand more power.

 

I didnt know that. hmm thats food for thought

 

my vote is for a 1987 or later 700r4.you can't beat that great first gear and overdrive.

 

With the price of gas I would want overdrive. If you're strictly going to race it and need something cheap then I'd go with a TH400. Best of both worlds would be a 4L80E, but that robs some power and is a little harder to install. A rebuilt 700r4 (post 1987) would be my choice in your situation.

 

ok thanks guys. I am looking for one now so any help pointed in a good direction would help I dont care if its blown or not I was planning on redoing one just for kicks and grins. What is the best stage rebuild kit/ brand you think for my situation engine is a 350 bored 0.40 over with a 480 lift at .50 with an hei distributor weiand single plane intake a 750 dp holly and headman long tubes I am leaning towards an alto I assume I will need the lockup kit for the converter with no cpu and idk if i want a shift kit or not I got a hurst promatic 2 shifter I was able to fit in the car it worked well with the old trans.
