I have been offered a 89 chev silverado for free. It has a 5.7 and automatic tranny. I was wondering if the tranny would be a 700r4, I'm told that the 96 and newer 5.7 would be a better choice because of the vortec heads. How well did the 89 5.7 perform. I plan on accepting the offer regardless as I'm sure that there will be many usable parts. I can't wait until someone offers me a newer truck for parts,lol.
