(Sorry earthquake) Yep, there's actually an entire forum devoted to that swap.

Read the stickies, do a search or two, & there's a REALLY good chance that you won't even need to post up a question..!

I have a built TCI 700r4. It will handle the 355 with 125 shot and slick spraying it off the line.

Nice! Is there a particular reason to keep the 700r4, or do you just not want to spend the money on a 4l60e? I recently made the 3rd to 4th gen move, and I'm STILL not quite used to the way the 4l60e shifts
