I'm getting close to doing this and plan to photo document the entire process in my rebuild thread and include GM part numbers where applicable. I've been accumulating parts for several months and almost ready to pull the trigger. The single most difficult part to obtain will be the factory TV cable bracket which bolts on the rear of the driver's side head and provides the connecting point for the TV cable. I suggest you locate and obtain this part first, then begin to obtain the other parts. You will also need to decide where you are going to obtain the 700R4 itself. Some guys are content with purchasing a used unit from a junkyard, however speaking for myself, I could never trust such an unknown, untested, important piece of equipment on a long trip. So I plan on purchasing a completely rebuilt unit from a reputable rebuilder with a good track record. But be forewarned, these top-end transmissions can run upwards of $1500 - $2000 after tax, crating, freight, etc. You will also need to go into your NP208 (assuming this what is in your CUCV) and change the input gear to a 27 spline unit to mate up with the 700R4 output shaft. So in summary, it's a bigger job than most guys realize. However if you take time to fully understand the entire process, accumulate all your parts beforehand, and budget the project properly, you will be fine. The only part I still need is the transmission itself, and I plan on ordering it February and start the process in March or April. Hope this helps.
