I don't have a 700r4 yet but i do want to upgrade the engine first to see how it drives and see if I even need to do the gear change later
There are articles on putting Vortec heads on those shortblocks that boosts power a bit. Another option might be Tuned Port fuel injection (85-92 Corvette and F-body). Gets you nice low end torque. I really like them. I've done several conversions. Put one on a bone stock '84 SWB with a 305 for a guy at work and it is night and day different.
