The clutch count is the same between a 4.3L & V8 700.
The 60 degree V6 version of the 700 has 1 fewer clutch in the forward & 3-4 packs.

The 4-3 downshift is fairly active on a 4.3L 700. A spring change in the Valve Body can fix this if annoying.

Some 4.3L 700's have a small "554" 2nd piston, The 2-4 band can burn-up if used behind a 350.
Use a standard V8 "553" or Vette "093" 2nd piston.
