Re: Next... and a help question
I haven't done the 700r-4 swap, but I know it goes further back than the stock th350 location, you may have to drill your own holes.

Re: Next... and a help question
When I changed over from a th350 to a th400 I bolted up the tranny and slipped the mount in place, squared it up, marked the holes and drilled them. In my opinion Its the sure fire way to fit it in. Had to move back a few inches.

Re: Next... and a help question
My truck was an I6 with a manuel 3spd and I had to move mine back. Best thing to do is get everything in, mark and drill holes as stated above. My crossmember did use what I think was the original rear holes for the holes for the front of the crossmember, so I only had to drill the back holes.
Edit: where the trans mount goes will also depend on where you mounted your engine (I6 or V8 location, or custom mounts)

Re: Next... and a help question
Good call guys

Re: Next... and a help question
Yes place your engine and trans in place and adjust the auto cross to the right location. Some holes may line up but probably not all.
It sounds worse than it really is - Bob
