Right o Mark!
Just don't abuse them they don't like it, most tranny's don't. The 200r4
will blow up under hard loads, so will the th350c. I like the 700r4 and it's
replacement the 4l60e. The ultimate trans is the 4l80e (th400 w/OD!) all
around best rod trans IS the 700r4!

                im sure everyone on the list will tell you there stories
about the R4 but i
                like them despite having had a few probs with one. i still
thikn if built
                right they will handle anything. i have one in my 4000#
panel and drive it
                hard-no probs. just keep it cool and change your fluid and
it should last a
                long time. 
                as far as rear goes, i would use a
camaro/transam/nova/skylark (10 bolt
                8.5"ring gear) rear axle with a 3.42 or close ratio
depending on tires. mine
                are 255/60-15 and it runs me under 2000 @ 60 mph....
