700R4 to a mid 60's SBC
Is there any reason why a 700r4 wouldn't bolt up to an older SBC?

Re: 700R4 to a mid 60's SBC
You need a dual pattern flexplate because the newer torque convertor will be roughly a 1/4'' off the old pattern.

Re: 700R4 to a mid 60's SBC
+1. This should be the only thing that needs to be changed on the engine for the swap to a 700R4. Of course the trans mount and crossmember will be different, and the driveshaft may need to be altered as well. I have heard rumors of interferance with factory exhaust on some applications, but have yet to have that become an issue myself.

Re: 700R4 to a mid 60's SBC
Tell them a dual pattern Chevy small block flex plate. If they look at you funny, tell them a flexplate for a 1985 Chevy 1/2 ton 2WD SBC automatic (any early to mid 80's vehicle with the 4speed automatic trans will work though).

Re: 700R4 to a mid 60's SBC
I couldn't find anything for flexplate on Napa's website, but here is one from Kragen's website that will work. Sold under the Pioneer brand, just standard quality.
http://kragen.com/ProductDetail.aspx...pe=267&PTSet=A Edit: just so you know, I have my home location plugged in on that link. Might want to change it to yours if you decide to buy off the website. Last edited by fryer1979; 08-20-2010 at 02:33 AM. |
