I run a 700R4 behind a big block in my 72 Blazer and my 72 swb 383 c10, never had a issue with my 700R4 transmissions.
But I do not abuse my equipment nor do I expect things to last for ever.

Not sure why so much hating on the 700R4's but I will take all of the ones everyone dont want. Thanks.

As far as gas mileage, big block and gas mileage should not be used in the same sentence. If its your daily driver than I would look to buy another vehicle with better mileage.
Should this be more of a debate on a 700 vs 400 with GV ? 70 LWB truck with a 3000 dollar GV, I dont think I would spend the cash on a GV....Ask yourself what the truck is worth, its a LWB truck right ? the GV is worth half as much as the truck. I already know what I would do but again these forums are so much fun to hear other opinions.
