I would not touch a 700r4. That had to be the worst transmission that was ever sold to the public. As designed and prototyped, it was an excellent transmission. Then the MBAs came out of the office and told the engineers that it cost too much and could not be sold as it is. The 4L60 is an electronic version of the 700R4. You would need the electronics to support it to use that one. It is a better transmission than the 700R4 in that a lot of the weak points were corrected in it. BUT, you would need the electronics to support it, since it has no governor, modulator, or other means to determine and cause shift points. As to the powerglide, FORGET IT!!! What a throwback to the stone age. Two speeds and reverse. No overdrive, no intermediate, and no efficiency. In their day, they were barely adequate. And, they are NOT "bulletproof" as others have said. Powerglides kept local transmission shops in business!!! They were very prone to failure of the high clutch. My recommendation would be either the TH350 or the TH400. It would be harder to find a 400 with Chevy bell housing pattern. Either will give you a decent and reliable 3 speed transmission without getting into electronic problems.
