John; On your tranny selection you mention the 700R. Have you considered the 200R instead? I have never run one of those trannies but folowing the GM guys chatter they like the 200 over the 700 the same way as we like the 904 over the 727, less rotating weight and a good performer with the proper precautions. Cheaper too. And a little smaller.....Russ __________________________________ Celebrate Yahoo!'s 10th Birthday! Yahoo! Netrospective: 100 Moments of the Web http://birthday.yahoo.com/netrospective/
