I am planning on pulling a 2004r from a '87 Monte for my '84 Elk and understand there is a mod (converter lock-up kit) that I need to perform.
I looked up BTO and saw different options so if someone could share their experience with me and the easiest & most effective route as far as what kit and how to...
I would appreciate it!
Aloha,
Scott

I also have a 7004r, but either way, I need more info on the lock up kit!
Which tranny would be the best chooice? friends here are telling me the 2004r is the one.
Anyone?

If you use all the parts from the Monte, the 2004R should bolt in. If you go with the 700R4 it will be a bit more work. Which one is in better shape? It's not cheap to get an OD tranny rebuilt. As for lock up kits, there are several available. Some use a simple electrical signal, others use engine vacuum to send the signal. You can search on Jeg's or Summit for different makes. You can also wire it your self with a toggle switch on the dash. But if you forget to unlock the convertor the car will stall when you come to a stop.
