Keep the 4-speed! Save your money for a real TKO 600, Richmond 5-speed, T56 6-speed, or the equivalent. There's a reason they stopped making C4s. 
If your car was stock with a 4-speed, you'll likely want to consider swapping to a removable crossmember. There are kits, and folks on this forum have done it. If you have an automatic, G Force Crossmembers (and others) make bolt-in replacements for different transmissions. They may be able to help you with one that works for the 4+3.

The 4+3 is the LAST choice for an overdrive trans in a C3. Just look how far apart the C4 seats are. And how big the tunnel is. That is how big a 4+3 is.
