Looking for a 700R4 that I can mate up to the 5.3LS I bought. Will travel surrounding states for the right trans and price.

Not looking for one from a salvage yard. Can buy or do some trading.

So you're wanting a NON Computer controlled 700r4? Are you OK with not having the top center bell housing bolt, cuz you won't find that in any 700r4. Why not go with a 4L60-E that has changeable bell housing, more updates, can be tuned with your 5.3LS swap and not have to deal with the dreaded TV cable that with 1 minor mistake you can kill it. Jus Sayin' !!! We don't know your mechanical ability, so just making sure you're aware of all that which you might already know.
