Ok, as you all have read or heard about, I am thinking of shoving my Cumins into my new(to me) ride, 87 1500 Suburban. I am wanting to keep it a auto so I need a tranny that can handle the Cummins. Some suggestion were keeping the 700R4 and build it up, get another tranny, or convert it to a stick (not what I wanna do). After talking to Philip, he said to build it up. I thought great! Build it to handle the Cummins. But talking to others, they ask "What would be better? A Gasser built to handle the Cummins for a couple of grand OR a tranny that was built for behind the Cummins and upgradable?" Well after much thought, I will go the route of one that was behind the Cummins (Sorry Philip
) I can get a complete, rebuilt 1994 A518 from O'Reillys for $1500 and some change. Now what do I have to worry about? Electronics? Is it the same as a 47RH? Also, how would I get the lock-up to work on a switch vs a computer? Where do I get the best bang for the buck on a converter and flywheel?
Thanks for the help guys!
Jon
