Thanks in advance
The 700 uses a TV cable to control down-shifting that you will need to mount to your carb/intake. I'm sure there is a bracket available for this type of thing. I do know that having the cable properly adjusted is very important.

Of course, if you want the ability to lock the torque convertor like from the factory, you'll have to get another kit to make that all work.

Shouldn't be a big problem -- only thing I'm not sure of is the bolt pattern of the 5.3 vs the 700R4.
