I talked to a tranny rebuilder today that has a pretty good reputation. He told be about $800 to rebuild a 700R4. He told me they had got some parts in (planetary gears maybe, i dunno much about trannys) to fix some of the tranny's weaknesses. He also didn't like the lockup converter very much, he said it was another weak point of the tranny he could fix. A friend of mine runs a garage, and he will also thought the conversion would be a good idea, and is willing to help me for free. My engine has about 300HP, so i don't think i will have to build the tranny too much. I will proably go ahead and put a mild shift kit, possibly the RV-style in it, and run a tranny cooler. Thanks for the help

My Daily-Driver: '72 Chevy LWB Custom/10. Rebuilt 350, roughly 300 HP thanks to a 204/214 duration cam, Edelbrock Performer intake and 1406 carb, headers, and 40 seires Flowmaster mufflers. Ochre with a white top. Lots of fun
