I want to do this swap and bought a complete wrecked 90 Suburban 4x2 with the 700R4 and mechanical speedo. My truck is a 72 Long Box with a 396 and TH400. Will this be an easy swap to do? Why do you need transmission cooler ? I dont have one on the TH400. Do the 700's run hotter.?

I dont race the truck but love blowing away rice rockets when the circumstances are right like at 06:30 in the AM when I'm on my way home from work and some ricer pulls into the inside lane at a light expecting to get in front of me when the light changes. I have the 396 badges on my fenders but I'm sure alot of these younger guys driving rice rockets dont know what the 396 means.
