Mines beat... I was going to just put a TH350 in but now im thinking it would be nice to keep OD with gas prices going up...

Any good shops in CT to get a 83 700r4 done up right?

 

None that I know of - my bird needed tranny work and after much research I decided that the 700 is too special for just any garage - so unless they do these (didn't want mine to be thier first) I was going to buy online. While waiting for $$ I decided that I might try and fix it myself - bought a transgo Jr kit - new separator plate - corvette servo and ripped out the bottom of that tranny. Found a broken spring, worn plate - bent valve - replaced all that - put it back together and it seems to be working fine. Could not really drive it but I had it up to 60mph on the jackstands and it seemed to shift perfect - time will tell but since I did not have any junk in the pan the $100 might have been well spent. I figured if I tossed a clutch or something I would drop it and pull the front out since I had already done all the bottom work.

 

there is a guy in thompson ct he built MANY trans for freinds of mine. he is good he builds it to what you need. hp/tq and what your going to use it for.

my freind had a tranny built for racing a truck with 600+ hp and it never had probs it only cost him 800 or so with the tz converter.

but thompson is far for you. i can get the info if you are still interested.
