Kelly, 
        I'm not sure where you are getting your information from, but Larry 
is correct on this. 

The 4L60 (700R4) is an overdrive based on the TH-350.  4L60E is electronic 
version.
The 4L80 is an overdrive based on the TH-400.  4L80E is electronic version.
The 200-4R is an overdrive based on the TH-200.

Sounds like a 4L80 would be a good choice for a beefed up BBC in a 3600 lb 
Chevelle if a 'near indestructable' overdrive is desired.
