I've got a 71 gmc that i drive daily, and am fixing it up as I go. I'm wondering about swapping in a 700r4 to replace the turbo 350. My main reason for considering this trade is the extra gear and maybe a little better mpg. This truck fairly screams going down the hiway. Is this a swap that can be done without major modification? Any other issues I should be concerned about? Is there another 4 spd auto that would be a better swap?
