I have found several kits that controll the lockup of the torque converter on our 700R4. The one I like best is from Monster Transmissons.

Does anyone have this or have something like this in ther truck? I HAVE to do SOMETHING soon. The body work is almost done, and I still have no way of controlling the transmission.
Also, If you have run across this kind of project before, could you please explain what you did to make your 700R4 work? What & Where did you order the parts from?

I have found a real good kit from Bowler Transmissions, But I can not afford to drop another $200.00 in a parts kit. I am beyond maxed out on this budjet as it is!
Does anybody know of a CHEAP way to get this thing going?

Just as a recap, I have bolted in a 250 Industrial 6 cyl. to this transmisson, and put it in the truck. At this moment, that is all that has been done. No driveshaft made yet. No electrics hooked up. No TV cable hooked up. Just bolted to the engine & dropped into the truck.
