Hurst and Holley both offer linkage adapters that provide the proper geometry for the 700R4 cable. I think the one I used on Lockjaw was Hurst. It was less than $20.00 for the link and a bracket that mounts the TV cable and the throttle cable. A little creative fabrication could easily adapt it to another carb, (QuadraJet, Carter, or even Chrysler/Ford)!! It would STILL be far less expensive than a complete tranny replacement and a lot less labor too!!
I've seen 700s behind a Hemi and several Ford engine combinations and they're working.
