Re: Swap standard trans for auto trans.

The 700R4 would be a nice step up rom the Turbo 350 just in gearing alone. The only issue with a 700R4 behind the old inline 6 is TV cable. The carbs and linkages can be a pain to get hooked up because they rotate across the engine unlike a stock carb on a V8 that rotates front to back. No one makes an adapter that is a bolt on. The TV cable is a show stopper if not adjusted properly and will damage the trans in short order.
