The 700-r4 tranny can be bolted to any Olds(Buick/pontiac) with an adapter that Jegs sells. Others are out there but this is the one I used for my cutlass. So far it has worked great without any problems. With 3:90 gears, that 30 percent overdrive is great. It makes a difference of about a thousand RPM at highway speeds and dramatically increases gas mileage. At 3 bucks a gallon it will pay for itself in a very short period of time. I also had to move my crossmember back to another set of holes in the frame and get a shorter driveshaft. Hooking up the floor shifter also takes an adapter kit that you can buy at Shiftworks.com.
