And if it's the 700r4, you can do any mod that the v8 guys with 700r4's can do, like shifters, shift kits, trans coolers, etc. Besides the v6's 700r4 having a smaller casing than the v8's 700r4, there were only -minor- internal upgrades to the v8's 700r4- the major "inner workings" of the trannies are exactly the same. In fact, if you ever need to look up rebuild kits, you'll see that none are spec'd as a "v6 rebuild kit"- they're all kits for v8 700r4's, and everything fits in the v6 700r4.

I've put the following on my 700r4:

B&M Shift Improver kit (stage 2)
B&M 4-3 kickdown kit
B&M Console Megashifter
B&M Supercooler
Summit remote trans filter
Energy Suspension trans mount & torque arm mount
