Agreed! I have a 350/700R4 combo now.

Now, I will admit that the only reason I swapped out the original powerplant was because I could not find parts for it in the early nineties..no oil pressure and was knocking. Small town with one parts store that had no idea about a 305 V6, no internet, and inexperience with 305's led me to swap to a 350/350 combo to get the truck on the road. The 700R4 came years later. About the only thing that was difficult was getting the TV cable adjusted and re-sizing the driveline.
