i think the 700 is the way to go. if you build these units right they can hold up to 500 ponies.

your biggest concern at this day and age is gas mileage. and with that fourth gear and lockup it will be cheaper in that shoebox.

my advice is before you put it in the car get a well known and respectable builder to go over the unit.

from the factory these units are junk. but after a few updates they will last for along time.

just a few insights on udates for this unit are.

1.the beast reverse sun gear shell
2.29 element dual cage sprag
3.get a good 3-4 clutch pack setup (red eagle)
4.hardened pump rings.
5.10 vane pump some go to the 13 i dont think its necessary
6.2-4 servo get the 093 . firmer 1-2
7.trans go jr. shift kit.
8.new boost valve

there is a ton of more stuff to do if its in your budget ,just make sure to buy a decent torque converter , if you dont that good trans will get eaten up .

putting the unit in the car is a snap
definitly have to get the lockup to work or you will burn up the trans, lockup actually cools the fluid
the tv cable must also be adjusted correctly . this is what controls throttle pressure in the trans . hope this helps
