700r4 conversion
Hey guys. Been trying to gather some info as to what is needed to complete the changeover from a Th350 to a 700r4. I've read a few Conflicting things on the drive shaft lengths as well as the transmission Tailstock. I already have the transmission. Just waiting on getting these last few bugs worked out.
Here are the parts I know I need so far transmission x member Tv cable and bracket Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: 700r4 conversion
Your crossmember will work ,I would allso suggest to get a drain plug for the pan.Alot of guys use the stock bracket & cable but if u changed carbs you will need to modify the bracket and get a geometry bracket.I just finished this swap on my truck.You can allso look down in the engine ,drivetrain section SORRY IF I came off rude earlier

Re: 700r4 conversion
Not at all bro. No worries. I know sometimes it's just a matter of not entering the right key words in the search engines and you could be missing out on tons of info that's already been discussed like you said. Yea. I'm going to be cleaning the 700 up and removing the oil pan. I Definately want to add a drain plug to it. I know what a mess servicing the trans can be.
![]() Im just trying to go through most of the possible scenarios before tearing into it and having the truck down while I figure out the bugs. Did you have to replace or cut your driveshaft? How about the transmission Tailstock ? Thanks for the feedback. Quote:

Re: 700r4 conversion
Depends on where your engine is now is it in the forword mount pos. or the rear 6cyl.& 4x4 spot.Look on top of frame by your spark plugs and you will see the holes for forword or the back holes your motor mount towers will be in 1 or the other I bet your in the front hole.If this is the case your shaft will need shortened
