Im goin 2 the J/Y this weekend and i was wondering What other cars/trucks can i get a 700r4 from that are compatible with everthing (computer)my engine is a lil 305 carb quadrajet

 

you going to be limited to something with a SBC and provision for a torque arm. look for other 3rd gen F bodys

 

can it beout of a v6 3rd gen

 

Nope, it has to be from a V8 car/truck (v6 models have a different bellhousing)... As long as you have an F-body extension housing for a 700R4, you can make any V8 700R4 work (except maybe corvette)... But, keep in mind that all of them have different valvebody/governer calibrations, so it would be best to find one from an F-body..

 

wut do i have 2 do to put in a th400 or th350

 

th350 is direct if you go with a truck one 9" tail

th400 shorty you need a 200c shaft

700r4 can be from anything 2 wheel drive and 4.3L v6 or straight six or v-8 chevy only

astro vans, s-10s, caprices, etc.

but not corvette

and some caprices in the early 90s had a wierd length 700r4 too, but you probably wont run into one

the person who said it has ot be f body only because of the tailshaft housing is smoking on something funny, all you have to do is swap the housing for your f body one

duh.

 

T350 or T400 swap require an aftermarket non-tailshaft mounted tq arm, or a special mount to bolt the tq arm onto. - With the proper length T350, you can re-use your ds, all other will require a new or re-worked ds. You'll also have to modify or change you shifter. You'll be loosing the lower 1st gear and also OD, so if you need mpg, stick with the 700r.

- as stated, trucks, vans, 4.3 S10's have interchangeable trans, but will require your tailshaft housing. Also(as stated) most have differently calibrated vb's, so you may loose some performance....

 

So I could install a 700r4 from a chevy c1500 truck? How hard is it to swap out the tailshafts? Also, what is the truck version's gear ratio's compared to the camaro's?

 

As long as it is a C1500 (or 2WD), then you don't have to swap the tailshaft.. You'd have to change over your extension housing (tailshaft housing) so you could mount your torque arm, but that is easy.. Pull the speedo out (one bolt), then 4 bolts mount the extension housing to the transmission case...
