don't overlook the cummins 4bt engine. they put them in bread vans, and they bolt right up to a 400 turbo chevy tranny. plenty of power and torque, and no more wires to hook up than a carbureted small block.

And if it will bolt to a TH400, it will bolt to the 700R4 that is in his van now

Please understand, a diesel torque curve is different, they require a specific torque converter, you can't just throw anything in it.

I wouldn't bolt it to a 700r4 because of the torque.
