Re: 700r4 plans

Due to the LQ4 being a 99 long crank, I'm limited to a matching 4l80e or a beefy 700r4. I'm not sure any of the 4l60e will work, unless maybe an LT1 would, but I'm under the impression they were...

I Picked up an '85 700r4 from a Z for a song.
Then learned the newer 700r4s are built better.
Should I buy one of dana's kits and build my 85?
Or toss it and seek a newer model to build?

Re: ring and pinion question

It is an ABS rear, owner stated 2002 Trans Am, Auto. He knew it wasn't a 3.42 rear. All I've read said auto came with 3.08 or optional 3.42.

I am confident it is at least 99-02.
