yep i have, and im about to do it again in my wagon, not an easy job to get it to work,

You need to modify a flex plate as gu have bigger bolt pcd on the crank than gq so you cant use on of them standard

electrics get real hard, need an aftermarket gear box controller if you want to retain the auto aspect

If not, run a full manual valve body

Custom stall convertor, big trans cooler, factory tailshafts and transfer off the gu manual fit

and dollars, lots a dollars

i killed the first box cause the convertor crapped it self, but while it was in and running it was the best thing i have driven, my old coil cab had a bigger turbo and pump tho but hence the reasn im spending the coin to do it all over again!! i loved it

cheers sean

Pretty sure there is a company that makes adapters for t700's etc.. saw them advertised in 4wd action
