But in your case I would get a quality built 700R4 by someone who knows them and adjust the TV cable before it starts the first time. Then drive it. The Q-jet brackets for the TV cables are out there in trucks, vans, MonteCarlo, Impala, Camaro....

My '83 K20 went about 80K on the original transmission pulling trailers and hauling before the front pump died. Got a GM reman with updates after that.
I will never own another 700r4. Ain't happenin'.
calling around to price out fresh th350's, still on the fence.
In the mean time watching the parts board for bits and pieces.
