As Kevin mentioned, the 2004R can be built to handle quite a bit of
torque. nothing against the 700R4, however, with the 2004R you don't
need an adapter plate, you don't need to shorten the drive shaft
(just use one from a TH350 car) and you don't have any fitment
problems with the trans tunnel (the 700R4 is longer and a bit beefier
so some people have issues with the tunnel).
Everything else is the same. You need a TV cable, a way to lock the
torque converter (can be as simple as a toggle switch). I9n my book
for a Pontiac engine a well built 2004R is the way to go.

I put a "built" 700r4 in my 67 firebird. Its good for up to 500 hp
and 500 ftlbs. All I've had to do so far was put in a new
crossmember, a "bop" adapter plate on the engine, and shorten the
driveshaft. It also came with new linkage to hook up the throttle
valve cable. I got everything from Phoenix Transmission in
Weatherford, TX for about 2300. They ship worldwide and don't start
the warranty until the car is on the road.
