Hi!

Joel, you've got a lot of stuff going on!  i can give a little advice, a 
"good 700r-4" (some might call that an oxy-moron) would be '87 and up, they 
have upgraded parts some of which being a bigger 30 spline input, bigger 3-4 
and low reverse sprag and other internal mods to make them stronger. they are 
a good tranny due to the low first gear and the overdrive. but they do have 
limmits, don't put a horse trailer behind one and expect it to live long. i 
much prefer the later eec controlled 4l60-e's, they do away one of the 
biggest problems in the 700, the throttle valve controlled vale body. if i 
were to attemt a swap and had a friend at a junk yard i would try to find a 
94-95 camaro or such with the 4l60 and then you can reprogram both the engine 
and trans.(might have to beef up the trans if it were to go into a heavy rig) 
 
to my knowlage most if not all production cars use saturated injectors, 
peak-hold type are used mostly by racers or exotics. most ford injectors are 
rated at 19lbs/hr. the dohc mustangs have 24lb. injectors. as for the old 
using the old hei dist., if you want to retain ecu controll of the timing i 
think it would be easyer to use the new style distibutor. i dont know if the 
old 7 pin ignition module uses the same ignition control signal as the new 
style. as far as your obd 1 swap i am alittle confused, hondas "obd1" (the 
old style) was a pain to troubleshoot, no scan tool interface, the new obd2 
96-97and up by law had to have a standard scan tool port and some standard 
data pins. if you are thinking of an obd 2 swap that would be cool, however 
if you are going to do that much work, why not swap a later modle gm system 
on it, that way it would be easyer to modify and diagnose? getting the v-tech 
system to work might be tricky though. good luck. joe
