1987 and later got all of the incremental improvements they'd been making throughout the 80s.. aux valve body, stronger ring gear, 30 spline input shaft blah blah blah

Exactly

88-up is generally regarded as being the best because they upgraded the 3-4 clutch packs, but anything 87-up is good

Bob's built my 1987 700R4 which was awesome - but i just pulled it to instal a T56.

Someone buy the auto! I spent $2500 on it at Bob's last summer not including the 2800 RPM stall. About 3500k's on it now. I'll let it go for $1800 complete.

back when I was looking for a tranny builder I didn't hear many good things about bobs driveline. About the only thing I did hear is that they charged WAY too much for something that was no better than other builds.

your 2500 seems like a good example. Perhaps the business is actually standing behind their product now?
