A factory T350 isn't the strongest tranny in the world either, I have seen many blown up with a little bit of a torquey motor. The 700R4 is a great tranny, if you go with a Corvette 4l60E style rebuild it will handle any 350 horse small block anyday. I have a 700R4 but mine has been built to withstand my BB. They cost dollars but I think the lower engine RPM, if nothing else saves a little wear and tear on the motor. Plus I can still run 373's and have low engine speed and have great off the line acceleration. Kinda pointless to keep high rear end gearing and then get overdrive, to slow and you are lugging, which isn't that great for anything either. Whatever you do if you a 700, get a lock up convertor.
