Then that person had no idea what he was talking about.

The 700R4 is the probably the most widely used OD transmission to go behind "non-electronic" vehicles and has been for over 20 years.

Their only real shortcoming is that they really need a lot more money thrown at them, than a Turbo 400 would, if you want to put them behind a big block with tons of torque.
