More than 4? GM's new trucks use a 6 speed auto now. Two overdrives. Fully electronic though. What are you putting it in?

What are you bolting it up to? You'll need an electronic lock up for the converter if you go 700R4. Later ones also have an electric speedo. Cross member will need to be moved and drive shaft will need to be shortened. Is this still considered a bolt in?

700R4 is what you need. Too bad you aren't closer I have an extra one.
