are you talking about a 4l60e or just a 4l60? if its the "e" then ofcourse ul need wiring harness etc for the trans and a computer to control it, unless uve modded a stock harness in which case it will already have the plugs and stuff in it for the trans. 700's are more or less the same trans although you have to run the TV cable, not sure if anybody out there is making an adapter to hook the Tv to the stock throttlebody, were you planning on buying new or finding a junker and getting it rebuilt? a 4l60e would probably be easier to find at a wreckers than a 700 as there getting a little older. I would go for the 4l60e, nice to be able to easily change shift points etc just by tuning the pcm, also a 700 will require the crank spacer adapter and a late model 4l60e would not, as long as its late 90's or newer.

In my opinion... I will never build another full street car without overdrive. You never know when a power tour or something similar comes around and you get the bug to participate. YMMV

[QUOTE=gofastwclass;14453564]Only 4L60E's that came behind Gen III / IV engines will not need a spacer.
Thats what i was trying to get at, your explanation was better tho, i put an overdrive in my 62 half ton and never regretted it.
