was the 700r4 tranny swap tough? did you have to do anything funky?
|
I used the Advance Adapters output shaft to mate the 700R4 with the stock NP205. The 700R4 is 1-3/4" longer than the TH350, so I moved the engine ahead 1-3/4" so the transfer case could stay in the stock location. Also gives more room for an HEI distributer and makes header bolt access easier. Eliminates the need to modify driveshafts also. Had to move the shift linkage bracket on the frame to line up with the tranny. Wiring was part of my harness for the TBI. Cooler lines were tweaked to fit. Stock shifter works, except "D" is now "OD" and 1st gear is just below "L". Best mod I've done so far. I've also done a 700R4 in my car. Basically anthing I own gets overdrive.

for the guys running TBI-- where did you mount your ECM?
|
I mounted mine just below the glove box between the heater box and the kick panel. Used the braket that holds the cable going through the firewall as one mount, then screwed another mount in to the heater box. I'll try to snap some pics this weekend.
