Yea, its not too late for a 700R4 as i am not paying people to build my car for me, i'm building it 100% by myself. I already have a 700R4 case that is ready to have guts stuffed into it, i just haven't decided yet, I can build a good stout production type 700R4 but i'd have to read up a bit for the little things that can make the 700R4 bullet proof.

The stroker motor has always weighed on my mind and I think that might be the best way to go. I was just curious if a hot thundering small block would be worse than a mild big block...as a mild big block wouldn't need all the radical parts that a small block would to make the same type of power.
