Bowtie Overdrives -- 700r4.com - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Who has bought a 700r4 from these guys. I know that everyone points people there when they start talking 700r4s, and I've just gotten a LOT of info from them.

I want to know who has a Bowtie Overdrives 700r4, and what your experiences are with it and them. They seem very professional, and I'm planning on chunking down about $1800 to them for a level III tranny and I just want some honest feedback from their customers before I do.

I've got a stage 32 sitting on my floor waiting for me to get the rest of the truck ready. Up to now I'm really impressed with them and look fwd to working with them during startup. The shipping etc. was handled flawlessly.

I have a stage3 in my suburban.I've had no problems.They are there for any help you might need.Having the tv adjusted properly is very important.

I build my own but I use some of their parts.

I recomend them by the cars/trucks I have worked on that have had them though.

Good stuff no worries.

I have a Level III in my 67 Camaro and one in my 68 4x4. Both are behind big blocks and both have performed flawlessly. I highly recommend them.

Thanks, guys. It makes me feel better that nobody posted a negative thing about them.
