Re: Help Please!!
You'd need a longer driveshaft.
But, why swap "down" to a 350 if you already have a 700? You can get 700's built to handle power if that's the problem.

Re: Help Please!!
How far are you from K.C? There is a shop here that rebuilds the 700-4R real reasonable.

Re: Help Please!!
By the time you buy a new driveshaft and find another tranny, you could pay for having yours rebuilt. Just my $.02,

Re: Help Please!!
I would not go back to a th 350 after I put in a 700r in my Chevelle.........what a difference..... 65 miles an hour turning 3500 RPM to 65 miles an hour turning 2000 RPM with the 700R........save gas, lots more get up and go...........just my opinion.....

Re: Help Please!!
I agree with zerwar. I plan on going from a TH350 to a 700r4 with the 57 just for that very reason. Your final gear ratio will be very different.

Re: Help Please!!
You can probably rebuilt one your self for about $200 plus a new convertor. A good used core is about $100. I think shift kits run about $100. I'm unsure about the servo. Never heard of changing it over.
But if you pulled it and took it to a shop, they would probably charge your around $700-800 i would think for the cheep side. Those trany techs are proud of their knowledge.

Re: Help Please!!
Lou from Muscle Cars did a 350 rebuild on one episode. It was upgraded witha 700 planitary clutch cover. It's not so deep so you can get an extra set of cluches in there. I'll see if i can find it.
