Agree with
Rick, a 400 would be overkill, one reason Chevrolet installed the TH350 behind small
blocks. A 700R4 or 2004R would be good choices if you want an O/D
unit. I’ve never had both in the same car so I can’t offer a
true comparison. The 700R4 has a 3.06 low gear and .70 in O/D where the
2004R has a 2.74 and .67 O/D. Unless there’s something wrong with
yourTH350 and/or you don’t do much highway driving to really warrant the
O/D’s obvious positive feature the TH350 should be just fine IMO. Dale McIntosh From:

On Behalf Of Rick Schaefer The 400
would be overkill for your use. The 700 is a good choice, but how
much highway driving do you do? Around town my 700 yields about the
same mpg as the 350. On the highway it does make a noticeable difference.
The 350 is not a bad choice and it is slightly easier to rebuild & maintain
than the 700. On 8/2/06, Eduardo

considering changing to a better transmission. Right now I have a 350 trans in
a 70 chevelle with a SB 350. I also have a MSD ignition with a 6AL MSD Box and
MSD spark plug wires, holly carb 770 double pumper, holly fuel pump. I use my
ride for street use not to race, and sometimes as a daily driver, and freeway
use too. What sounds good to get: a 400 or a 700 transmission? Do these have
any cons for ugrading? Would any of these two trans will they do more harm than
good? OR Am I good with my 350 transmission? thanks all!
