TH700 conversion

[Tig69SS]

Hello Everyone!

This is my first thread here and want to start off by thanking everyone for all the great information I have found on this site. But, I am looking for a little more help. I am in the process of building a 1969 SS clone. Its an automatic transmission car, and I would like to put a TH700 in it, but still use the stock horseshoe shifter. From everyone I have talked to, they are saying in order to do that i must give up the ability to put my tranny in 1st gear manually.

I have seen a couple conversion kits out there, and didnt know if they would solve this problem or not. Unfortunately i've only seen them to convert powerglide to the th700. I have a Turbo 350 atm.

Thank you in advance!
