Re: Who\'s 700R4?
There has been a few here on this site that have had trouble with Raptors.
700r4.com (Bowtie overdrives) Makes a good tranny. A buddy of mine bought one 2 years ago and its holding up just fine.
Go to the 73-91 forum and do a search on "Raptor" There is a Ton of info there.

Re: Who\'s 700R4?
i ordered a bowtie (700r4) level two last week - i should receive the tranny in about 5 days. their service has been outstanding so far. i have downloaded some of their install write ups and they appear to be very detailed. they even split shipping costs with me. i will post once it arrives... i have never removed or installed a tranny but i am going to go for it...

Re: Who\'s 700R4?
I also have a level 3 Bowtie. Works fine so far. Had a bit of a time trying to keep it cool with a 454. Runs a little warmer than they recommend, 150* /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif
Anyway it seems to work fine. You may want to but a low stall speed converter. I got mine from them and it seems a little slow off the line (1600RPM stall), but that may because of my 3.42 gears. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
I don't know that much about stall converters so you may not want to listen to me. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

the higher the stall the faster you take off. i run a 1600 stall and 3.42 and it goes preaty well but i have stock tires.
SOME of the little tranny shops can build a excelent 700r4. like me /forums/images/graemlins/whistling.gif

3.42's would be part of your temp problem. /forums/images/graemlins/whistling.gif I bet it would run cooler with 4.10's or something.
K5,
Where are you located? I had mine beefed up big time by a buddy of mine that owns a local shop here in town. Hipinion just had his built identical to mine by my buddy's shop and he is very happy with it's performance. /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif
