yeah you can put a th350 in your car, should bolt right up to the block, but unless you're dragracing why not just put a rebuilt 700r4 on?

i am turning my trans am into a street strip car

p.s the reason i ask is because my uncle is a machanit and he said that the tail in to short to bolt up

No, you'll need to change a few things...I been down that road. I just ended up buying a high performance 700R4 for 1,200. If I would have bought the t350, It was going to be over 1,400 with the tranny and all the mods that would have had to be done.

You would need a different driveshaft (You would need to get your re-length)
You're cross member will need some work
you'll need to buy the conversion kit...I think It was like $132 at summitracing

Not to mention U-joints and having to get your driveshaft balanced...Dude, just buy another 700r4...there expensive, but they give you the extra gear, and somewhat better gas mileage.

you know where i can get a high performance 700r4

vortech35091RS

Just call your local shops, and tell them you want a rebuilt 700r4 with a shift kit and a high stall speed lockup converter. if you want to spend money one your credit card...Summit Racing - High Performance Car and Truck Parts | 800-230-3030

umm, well it's broken lol i dunno you would have to ask someone who knows more, could be a problem with the torque converter

saliger64504

well i think i found the problem of y the trany was acting funny i had to replace the raidiator in it and had to unhook my trany cooler and it drained the fluid for the trany well i forgot to feel it back up afteri hooked everything back up
