Default C3, 81: What to do for an automatic

Greetings 'Vette family. My wife's 81 has the BW 4 speed trans w/3.55 gears (gears are aftermarket). Car runs like a scalded cat.

These days - it's not practical to drive a stick (in traffic) when she wants to take the 'beast' to work.

Question: what are folks doing these days for a conversion to automatic? An overdrive gear would be nice. Is the 700R4 the way to go? What say you all?

thanks in advance,

Ken

Probably be the easiest to install since I think that was what they were using in '81. If you do, make sure you get one that's had all of the upgrades done.
