why the fuck would you put a junk Ford tranny in a GMC? Or a 3 speed auto?

4l80e if it needs to be upgraded but a 700r4 is good enough.

C4 Trans? I’m guessing you mean a C4 corvette 6 speed… Not a ford c4 automatic…

there have onlt been a handful of manual swaps, and a couple of those have gone back to autos. the automatic transmission in much more efficient with these trucks.

4l80e is the preferred swap, costs a couple grand to do it though.

Right, that’s why people opt to spend a couple grand doing a 4l80e swap vs. building a 700R4 😉
