Oil Pan, you are clearly no slouch with a wrench.

Why don't you go for some real MPG? Flush that frail 700R4 and transplant in a NV4500 stick shift. Two solid MPG easy, and it opens wide vistas of hypermiling. These transmissions were used with a wide range of GM engines and should be almost a bolt-up.
