I need a tranny!!!

Funny title hey!!! lol!

My current setup is an 82 LWB with a sbc, TH350C, and a 10 bolt diff. The new engine is a BBC making 700hp. There is another post about rear end choice already, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to get a Moser 9". Now, I need a transmission that will handle the power as well. My TH350C has a 9" tailshaft, and I want to swap to a TH400. I called about a TCI and they offered me either a 4" or 9" tailshaft. Other than length, what's the difference?? Probably better to have a shorter driveshaft anyways??

Other than TCI, what would you recommend? I priced locally for a ground up build 400 and it was $2k more than the TCI I was looking at...

I can NOT spend more than $2000 on the transmission!!! I'm getting a 10" 3000rpm converter made for it so I don't need one of those...

Please help!!!
