C6 to E40d

has anyone out there swapped a C6 gearbox for the E40d.
I would love to get the overdrive without going with costly under/overdrive unit
my 85 250 with the 460/C6 is a little noisy on the freeway and the extra MPG would be welcome aswell

I think you need a computer and harness to run the overdrive trans.

On the bright side, I think that www.bauman.com has a stand alone controller.

thanks gooberdog.

I tried that link but it took me to a marketing company's website

on another bright side I remembered a programe on tv (two guys garage) where they are working on an el-camino and they had an aftermarket controler for their chevy from TCI, I emailed them last night for info, I will let you all know what they say
