TH700 and LS1
would my TH700r4 trans bolt up to an LS1 engine? i have a friend selling an LS1 from a 99 trans am with only like 10k miles on it so i would hate to pass it up, only $600 for the complete engine. so if anyone has any info for me lemme know. thanks

No it won't. You'll need the newer 4L60E and a computer to control the shift points. Well, if you install a LS1 then you will have that computer then anyways. I'm still waking up.

The TH700 will NOT bolt up. You will not need a new driveshaft to fit a T-56 and the 4L60E I am not sure of the length. Nor will you need a different rear. But many more complications will come with an LS1 swamp that will add to the cost.
