Is this a drag car or a driver? I might think your intentions might help dictate which direction to go. Maybe the 700 is the wrong trans fort what you are trying to do.

Everything I have ever read about 700s is that the TV cable is vital and if misadjusted can cause tranny damage. The new motor you are building will probably want more converter than the stock 700r4 converter. Maybe you could swap in a new higher stall, non-locking one? Once your engine specs are finalized, call some of the companies that make these, like TCI, etc., and get their recommendations.

I don’t understand pulling the EFI out. For the $$ spent on carb & intake, you could upgrade the EFI, no?
