1985 700r4?

[62step]

Well need yall's advice on a transmission, I need one, so I went to the junkyard 2 days ago and found a 1985 chevy truck and looked at the cluster, saw it had an overdrive. Well, I want an overdrive in my truck, but it seems to some people I have gotten the wrong year, people say 1986-up is the stronger transmission.

I'm not planning to put 900 hp to this thing, I want to do a couple of burnouts here and there and maybe drag strip every couple months. Just debating whether to put money into this trans or not. Just a good rebuild (the high friction clutches and maybe a shift kit?) and call it done. I'll also have to get a stall converter (274h comp cam).

Did I make a good choice or not?

Thanks, any advice will be appreciated!
