You are waving pom poms. You jumped on his bandwagon and rooted along with him because he flamed me, and told me I was wrong when I wasn't. You don't know the difference, you just know that you don't like me because I hurt your feelings.

I don't blow . I'm a straight shooter. I've sold a few parts to people on here and have been here a while.

You're also wrong about me and 700s. The reason I have a 700 in my car is that I had one w/ 15k on it, it drove perfect, and I already had the shorter driveshaft for it, and the tailhousing w/ mount (so it'd bolt up to a stock 200-4R crossmember.) If I would have been rebuilding a trans. for it, I'd have gone with a 200-4R, as I already had a good 7CZF core. But, between "free plus fluids" and "new converter, rebuild kit, hard part upgrades, plus time of doing it" I chose the former.

You just don't know anyone who can build a 700 for a damn. I do. I know guys in New Mexico who can and will build and warranty 200-4R or 700-R4s behind 454s. If your 700 dies behind a 5.7L engine, your trans. guy doesn't know what he's doing with a 700-R4. Your problem. Not mine. My T56's go behind 11 second cars. Again, you're the one with the problems with transmissions. Not me.

I know what I'm talking about and prove it when I post. You just come here and flame.

Get overdrive and get in the game, lemur.

 

Who said that? Not me. I just know they share a hell of a lot more parts than a TH350 and a TH200-4R. Why would you try & play spin doctor with what I said?

Why do you want to make yourself look bad?

 

man dude are you stuck on yourself or what ? that may not have been directed at you and then again it may have. take it how you want but i dont think you need to be jumping into a thread in the middle of it just to start slinging around here and then get all defensive when a couple guys on here call you out you need to settle down and relax no one is out to get you, there is no chip in your head, and listen to the voices once in a while and learn when enough is enough.... and the thing with quit being a lemur and get overdrive what is that supposed to mean ...LOL..i know alot of guys on here have overdrive but alot of them dont ......

 

OK, hang on, I'm the one that doesnt know what I am talking about? Lets go back through this thread and find out \who doesnt know what they are talking about.

I know plenty of people that can build a good 700R4. It just so happens that my engine makes too much power and will eat them. You see, let me explain something. Some of us here on this site have these things called horsepower and torque. I am quite sorry that your car doesnt have enough power to manage a wheelspin, but some of us require a more stout platform behind our engine. Maybe when you grow up your parents will let you play with a real engine too. BTW, 5.7 has nothing to do with engine output, you dolt.



What havent I proved? Give me an example, and we can go from there. Don't think that I have any problems proving my point. You just still have redballs because you cant understand Performance cars.

Yeah, thats what I need. I need overdrive on my car that never sees the highway. I need to spend 3x as much for an extra gear that never gets used. I also need an inherently weaker transmission too. Lemur.

So anyways, how is highschool nowadays?

 

Behold, the power of 305. Give a guy 8 cylinders and he thinks he's savior.

 

LMAO!!!!:yourock:

 

i'm sorry too........................

that his car has such a poor torque curve he needs a wide ratio TH350



the mighty 305!!!!!:hail: 305

 

You think your 355 makes more power than a 454? You better be spraying a serious shot there, son. Saying your engine makes "too much power" is hilarious without numbers, especially coming from you.


Platform is a car / chassis. Drivetrain is a transmmission / rear end. Try getting your terminology straight.

So a 7.4L engine isn't more of a test for a 700-R4 than a 5.7?


Dyno of your 355 would be amusing. Picture of your toothless transmission guy who fears 700s would be even better.


I welcome anyone who reads this statement from you to look through my posts and look through yours.
:hail:


I'm sorry that you had some incorrect knowledge about transmissions and are butthurt about it.

 

so then, has everybody said their peice? i, personally would like to hear more info on this tailshaft mounting kit. manufacturer, distributor. you know, sh*t like that rather than everyones personal opinion on overdrive. isnt the original ? about this damned mysterious kit that i cant find anywhere?

 

well, I'll tell you what, if you think that every big block makes more power than every small block, then I guess you really are a dumbass. I can scream circles around big blocks. Not all of them. Nor do I think that you have a trans guy that can build a 700 to withstand the power of a massively built big block. Give it up man. And, as to trying to start a flame war:

 

Also a .40 over isnt a 355. Learn to count.

 

well hes never gonna learn that he doesnt know what hes talking about so lets leave mr. jmd alone in his own little world and let him have a fun time with his slashing of anyone who doubts him in the least ...LOL....some people are just very selfconsious of themselves so we need to leave him alone before we hurt his feelings or he has a coronary or something..LOL....and what ever you do dont call to him or he will rant forever on here about everyone in new mexico and other places that he says he knows .....

 

Your 305-headed 350 isn't massively built, by anyones standards. Did you note my request above for dyno results? You ignored it. Wonder why.

You're running iron 305 heads on a 350 if I read one of your other posts right, which is an invitation to detonation to begin with. Your trans. guy is incompetent and you're impressed by low-output small blocks. That's you, in a nutshell.

If you're "running circles" around a 454, those guys are as good with Rats as your trans guy is with 700s. Anyone who knows their *** from a hole in the ground about how to build a Rat laughs at cobbled together budget 350s like yours. Bottom line.

Go circle jerk with your transmission guy and while you're at it, look up the information about the tailhousing spacer / adapter that has been requested by several people in this thread and others. Your contributions are nil here, here's your chance to make one.

 

im just gonna take a stab in the dark here but i bet you dont even know what your talking about when you say his transmission guy .....its kinda like your transmission guy ..... noone on here knows him but you and your the only one defending him ...i have in fact used ljnowells transmission guy he builds them to put behind his own race car and for many in our area i think you better settle down and relax . there is nothing wrong with 65cc 2.02 1.60 305 heads i know ive ran them before and never had a single problem out of them and the car ran a 12.5 in the 1/4 on a 350 with basically the same cam and intake ljnowell is running .......now as to the adapter kit the question is about ill call my (transmission guy ) and you go call yours and see if he knows what it is ....lol...and yes that engine set up he has has smoked quite a few built 454s in the area you dont know what is in it so you have to flame on it and thats just sad ......but enough is enough before they lock this thread like they should have the day you jumped in and started slamming anyone that doubted you or your tranny guy ...with that sir i say good day......

 

That's fantastic. That really makes me happy to hear.

What is the name of the shoppe you fellows go to, and where are y'all located? I'm from Springfield originally. :lala:

 

KRUSE AUTO ...call and ask for scott kruse the owner and shop supervisor if hes unavaliable ask for troy ..they would be happy to talk to ya ive..told them all about your bs about them not knowing what they are talking about and they would like to ask you some questions about your transmissions and see what you have going on i know both of them personally ......they are located in litchfield illinois........their phone number is 1-217-324-3941 if anyone else has a question about the kit they can call them they said they would be happy to build on for you and ship it anywhere in the US. if you can drive to get it and have a core it will be cheaper or they can build your core for you if you prefer .they guarantee thier transmissions also but give them a call and ask anything you want they are very helpfull ..:lala: ask him about his race cars and what he runs and about his racing boats

 

Great. I'll be sure and drop in next time I stop by a family business in Litchfield.

 

yeah they are some very helpfull guys have been in business for more than 30years its a family owned business and they are really good guys also own their own salvage yard right there if you need any parts tell them louie sent you

 

Oooooh, a family business in litchfield, who cares. Give it up man, you dont know jack. You float around looking for arguments. You know all the best people. You have the best car. My car does nothing but sparkknock, because of the heads. My transmission guys cant build a go cart, yours are the best. You know it all, I dont know anything, you actually designed the SBC engine and the 700R4 (based on a th350), and know everything about everyones car simply by the benefit of your excellent psychic abilities. I hereby bow down to your expert knowledge and experience, because its obvious none of us know anything here in our little hick town. After all, didnt you say something about my toothless mechanic? Worthless *** wart.

 

When exactly did I say that my engine was massively built? Dont remember saying that at all. Oh yeah, the final acts of a loser, make some stuff up.

 

thats okay i posted the number to scotts shop for him to talk to the toothless man himself i hope he stops by and visits good ol scott and troy one day...LOL...they will get a kick outta him ...

 

I think the best part general, is that my 65cc heads are gonna cause tons of detonation problems, cause we all know that GM never made a 64cc 350 head. I guess if they did they wouldnt run right, because jmd said so. Add that one to his list. The real funny thing is, he keeps ******* my posting, but ignores his. He insists on the fact that he posts worthwhile things, but in at least two threads right now he is being an *** to everybody. By the way, whats the family business? That way I know who not to trust.

 

I'll take two hard tacos, two soft tacos, two double deckers, four nachos and two cokes please....

 

will that be for here or to go ?

 

I Like that icon red devil, where did you find it? And what exactly is he smoking for you to order that much?

 

Crack. I like to use the phrase 'put the crack pipe down'. Someone PM'd me with a link to the smilies site I'm linking it from. I have another one that I like as well.

Everyone seems to like it and it puts a little entertainment into the board while staying somewhat relevant.

 

Oh yea, some of the ones I like are here:

https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...5&pagenumber=1

If you guys like some, post on that thread and maybe some more will get added on. They liked the one well enough.

 

those were awsome man thanks

 

lmao die in a fire

 

That is an awesome thread. Oh wait a minute, sorry RD I wasnt contributing per jmd's standards. Let me say this, I think that as far as rear ends go the 700R4 can't be touched by the 305. There that's perfect.

 

Hmmm, interesting thread. Anyway, I'm in the middle of a TH350 conversion, about 1/2 way done. I am taking pics all through the install and re-using as many stock parts as possible to keep the costs down. I'll probably make another thread for the results since this one went south. Car is a 1989 IROC-Z with the L98 and 700R4. New tranny is a TH350-C with the long tailshaft and lockup (80-86, probably out of a truck). For the conversion I'll be using the Hurst conversion kit, will re-use the 700R4 driveshaft, will re-use the stock torque arm and transmission crossmember, B&M dipstick tube, B&M kickdown cable, and will also be doing a B&M Transpak (stage 3 full manual conversion). I plan to use a manual switch for the lockup. Picked up the tranny freshly rebuilt with the stock converter for $275. Total estimated cost for the swap, under $500. Pretty good!!

 

sounds awsome yeah when you get it done post a new thread with your pics

 

arent th350's great. The nice part is that the 500 dollar stock th350 will outlast a "built" 700.

 

After reading through this entire mess of stuff i thought i would post my experiences of why i know have a TH350 in my 92RS.

Built me a 388 for my RS, 2 weeks later stock tranny TAOSTY!!! second gear had left the building. Called Jegs and got me a TCI street fighter 700R4 (joke). 3 weeks later 2nd and OD go out completely called TCI and dude knew exactly what was wrong (2nd-OD band broken). Got 2nd 700R4 from TCI this one leaked fluid from day one until the day i gave it to my local tranny place in exchange for a "built" TH350. I installed my new TH350 with my Spohn x-member kit and driveshaft and never had any problems again..... End of story.

Who cares how much HP you got....Torque kills transmissions. My 388 made only 321HP but 486 Ft.Lbs of TQ.

 

that story brings a tear to my eyes ......i love a happy ending
