Don't pick your gears until you have the motor built, and you know what the powerband looks like. The 700-R4 is a good tranny, that has gotten a bad rap with some people because the early-mid 80s 700s were weak. If you don't buy a 'race built' trans, look for a low-milage 700 from '87 and newer cars. There were many changes to them that made the '87-'93 700s stronger than the earlier ones.
Get a good converter (again, matched to your combination), and install a shift kit, and you should be ready for lots of happy use from your 700-R4.

Pre 87' Is the non-lock up version. Lock up is your best bet. DONT do the TH350 conversion, I did it and regretted every day of it.
