I'm running a 700R4 in my BMW SBC project.http://www.personal.kent.edu/~wbainey/BMW.htm I went with the NON-lockup converter based on the rebuilders recommendations. It works fine for me but I would imagine if I would have gone with the Lockup and a manual switch gas mileage would have gone up a few MPG if I could keep my foot out of it. Walt

I am gathering parts from my up coming street rod Project. 38 chevy coupe. I have a 700 R4 in my 65 Elky and like it . I stoped at the local HP trans builder. and we talked about what I wanted...He suggested a 89 later with all the transgo stuff HD sun shell 39 sprag and 13 vane pump.. ect But also said " In his opnion" He would prefer I use a NONE lock up converter with the none lock up valve and none lock up converter... 2000-2300 RPM none lock up converter and modified to run full fluid/oil flow in 4th gear. This will go behind a ZZ4 350 with the LT1 hot Cam (395 HP and 425 ftlb tourque) 9" ford .370 rear and 3300 LB aprox.
Any feedback on the None lockup VS Lock up ?

Ps I use the TCI scheme lock up with a vacumn switch on the elky..
