700r4 vs. 4l60e
i changed my track of mind and i am now doing a ls1 with a 4l60e swap but i already have a brand new spohn torque arm acnd crossmember for a 700r4 swap spohn said they would sell me just the crossmember since thats all thats different but i thought the 700 and 4l60e were phsically the same what will i have to do to make this work?

The case is different in the 4L60E. Its the internals that are the same minus the electronic controls in the 700 of course. I though the mount was in the same location though so???

Re: 700r4 vs. 4l60e
can you use a 700r4 with an LSx engine or do you have to use a 4l60/80 trans?

Re: 700r4 vs. 4l60e
The mounts are the same but the lsx crossmenber is differant. I just got my sphon touq-arm as well and they said the same, but for now i got the stock cross member till i do the swap then i have to get the lsx crossmember. Follow the link and look at the dementions

The transmission mount location is different on the LS type 4L60E vs. the LT type 4L60E & TH700. So, if you use the transmission to locate the engine, you can use a 3rd gen TH700 crossmember.

Re: 700r4 vs. 4l60e
I picked up the Spohn 4L60E cross member, but this will not mount to the 700 because of the difference in cases. So I'll be sending that back. They do not make one that mounts to the 700R.
So that leaves me with eitehr swapping to a 4L60E or finding the correct cross member/adapter if the factory cross member won't work,
Can I use my factory cross member where the 700R is currently bolted when doing an LS swap? If not, that's cool, I just need to know what direction to look to make it work.
