Re: 700 r4 transmission

What trans is in it now?
More parts are needed if you dont already have an auto,(cooler, trans lines) if you have a turbo 350, the yoke will work on the 700r4, if you have a 400, you will need a new yoke.

1.You will need to move the trans crossmember back for the 700R4
2.You will need need torque conv bolts (Metric)
3.You will need to figure out how the OD/Lockup circuit will work
4.You will need to fiigure out how your speedo will adapt (a lot of 700's are electric speedo's, you can change it over to manual, google PATC in Louisiana, they have all the parts)
5.You will have to change the shift linkage so you can manually engage all the gears (if you have auto now, the set up will work, but not for all gears)
6.Shift indicator for column, if you want it to look right.
7.I have just done two of these swaps....
8.Drive shaft should be fine as long as your pinion angles are ok.
