700r4 4x4 to camaro conversion

i have a 92 camaro z28. i need to replace my 700r4 tranny. can i use a 700r4 out of a 88 suburban 4x4 and just use my tail shaft and extension housing? both have 350 motors. i know the 700r4s were upgraded in the 90s but the 88 700r4 is freshly rebuilt and supposedly beefed up since this vehical was used for hauling heavy loads. i also know this swap will require disassembling the trans to swap tail shafts. is this whole thing possible and are there any other issues to consider?

Re: 700r4 4x4 to camaro conversion

I'm not sure that the output shaft is the same length. The trans is the same and the tailshaft housing will bolt up, but the output shaft may be shorter due the the fact that the 4x4 trans uses an adapter to mate directly with the t-case. I would check this before gettign your hopes up.
