If you have MCSS why step back to 700-r4? It's heavier & has heavier parts to try to rotate so it soaks up a little more power and fuel to run, has too low of a first gear for a powerful motor in a light gbody, has a less than ideal gear change from 1st to 2nd and does not have as tall of an overdrive. Plus you have to have your drive shaft cut to make the conversion work and the MCSS already came with the 200-4r. On top of that they cost the same to build up to withstand the same power.
I know back in the day the garden variety 700-r4 was a little stronger than the garden variety 200-4r and many shops didn't know how to build a performance 200-4r but sheesh we have had the internet a long time now seems like the info should have made its way around.
PS. Pat have you ever got a time slip on a bat out of hell yet?
