Quick 700R4 question
Okay, I'm probably going to get my 700R4 from www.phoenixhardparts.com, namely because they're local and that's a good price for a tranny ($750 after core). The core charge is the same regardless of the transmission style...if you go to their site, they sell them by year (82-86 or 87-92; year choice is a no-brianer, the 87-up ones are stronger), displacement (2.8, 4.3, or 5.7...the choice is easy, lol...), and 2WD or 4WD (here's where the choice gets interesting). From what I hear, the 4WD cases are stronger. The core charges are all the same...so, assuming the 4WD 700R4 comes with a tailshaft (since I believe newer ones have the transfer case bolt to the tranny in place of the tailshaft?), would that be the one I want for my '70 GMC? It's a mild 350, so a stock tranny should be more than fine.

the 4x4 case is different. The transfer case does bolt directly to the transmission and the output shaft in the tranny drives the splined hub in the t/c. unless there is a conversion kit or adapter I've never heard of, the 4x4 tranny won't work in a 2wd truck.

I have heard the same thing to use a 4x4 case because there stronger. Also get the inspection cover for a 4x4 because its cast and ads more strenth.

the 4x4 will work but you have to change the rear shaft and the tail stock on the tranny. i have one and am getting ready to have it changed out to go in my 71 longbed. snowman
