It's a matter of costs, Kurt. I can do the gears in both diffs.

Gear swap: 500.00 in parts, BBC will be fine towing with 33's.
Trans rebuild and adapter: 1200-1500 plus R+R still a shakey proposition. There's a reason GM got away from the 700 series, and they're still going out (4L60E)
Gear vendors OD: 2700 new (?), best of both worlds IMHO.

4th option: 4L80E
