Default C-3 trans swop

What does it take to install a 700R trans in my 1976 Corvette?

There are many excellent threads here on this subject. Do a search of current and archived threads and you will have plenty of good reading. I am planning on doing the same swap and have learned a lot from others experiences.

The 2004R is an easier swap and fits nicer than the 700R4, but both make the car a better ride.

I am just finishing up my 2004R on my 80 - hopefully I will have it running on Friday. Was easy
