Re: Conversion ? 700r4 trans or 350 turbo

For highway cruisin', you can't beat an overdrive and the 700R4 is a pretty simple install. Couple of things to keep in mind: 1. Run a separate tranny cooler, and 2. Properly adjust the TV cable. Failure to due either of these will greatly shorten the life of a 700R4. There is lots of info about these swaps on bowtieoverdrives.com. I'm not in any way affiliated with them, but they were the most helpful place I found when doing my swap.

Good Luck!
