Default 97 obs 350 votec acceleration issues

I can't find a clear answer on this problem. I have a 97 350 vortec and when I floor it I get high rpm but no acceleration at all. But the real bugger is that it is intermittent. Sometimes I have a strong start and it seems all good. But other times it just is totally gutless can someone please help me.

why doubt? Seems pretty likely for a 26yo vehicle.
If the engine is going really fast but your truck isn't going anywhere, then it's your transmission.
