I will speak like a politician on this one. I will take both sides.

I have replaced the 700R in every vehicle I have owned except one. Most I bought new. I replaced a 4L60E in my wife's suv at 60,000 miles.

In my mind the 700R is the bottom of the food chain in stock form.

We have two local guys that can build 700R's to last. WE have three behind 383 strokers and 3 behind big blocks.

My Longhorn only has about 30,000 on the 700R, but has done it's share of work. I spent as much on the build and installation as a GV would have cost. Why didn't I do GV? I didn't think of it. If the 700R gives up, I will put the fresh 400T back in and go GV.

In a car with under 500 HP I will do the 700R again and again, but in trucks from now on I will do GV. Mostly because I like to split shift.
