the 60e being controlled by electronics, and the 700 not, would be the first problem right there. im sure you could do it, since there are guys running glides, and th350/400. but to me it would be more hassel than what its worth. your goal isnt to make 700 hp. your a street car. id sell the 700r4 and send the 60e to get built.

Anybody upgrading your 4l60e will start with corvette servo,shift kit,upgraded sun shell etc. that will allow it to easily handle 450 hp. As is though it's just a matter of time before your trans will go.
