I got a 700R4 behind a mild 402 in my 70 C10. I have towed some trailers a few 100 miles several times in FL and towed a car from Fl to WI with out a problems. The best part is that the tran was a take out. Only paied $200 for it. It came out of a 87 2 wheel drive Blazer with a 4.3. The only thing I did was have it resealed and wired to lock up when it went into 4th for $60. After it was installed I had a Corvette servo installed to firm up the shifts for$50. The last thing I did was wire a B&M lock up control for $150. (the lock up controll is great. You can set it to lock up in forth at any speed you want) And as fare as the TV cable you can adjust it yourself. I just followed the instructions in a Chilton manual. Very easy. The only things I would recomend is to get the bigest trans cooler you could find because heat is a auto trans #1 problem and get a trans from 87 or newer and change your 3:07 to a 3:73. Its a very easy swap and makes for a great ride. But that my opinion. And opinions are like A-Holes, everyone has one.
