Th350 or 700r4 behind 420hp 383

I've been on the fence about selling my 4L80E for a glide in my truck just because I don't drive it a ton on the street any more and always in the search for weight. But then again, if might go slower with a 1.8x first gear.

For a DD, I'd want an OD with lock up verter. If it takes $2k to get a 700 to work, then you might be ahead getting a used stock 80E and buying a controller for it. These 80E's are strong!! Also remember, it isn't HP that breaks transmissions, it's TQ and heat.
