A possibility????

Since the popular modern US production transmissions do not seem to be easily adapted to the V8's then maybe one of the popular and widely available Japanese or other popular foreign transmissions mite adapt easier?????

I don;t know. But it's an idea to keep in mind. Even if the 4cyl transmissions won;t last as long as a 700R4 (due to V8 power) then replacing every 50K miles mite be accapetable if the conversion is easy and cheap enuf to do.

Common sense mite tell us that 4 cyl transmissions won;t last very long if coupled to a V8. True. However, common sense does not always ring true.
