Re: 700r4 swap

i thought there was going to be a big difference in the length of housing but the camaro housing is 1/4 in longer the than the suburban.. 89 to a 91 should have the same number of splines i think ...... any ideas or comments

Re: 700r4 swap

If it's a 2wd 700R4, all you gotta do swap the tail housings out and the governor too. When the tranny in my Bird went south, my buddy gave me a 700R4 out of an '85 2wd Silverado P/U. I had that tranny in the car for 10 months before I found the 4L60('91 Z-28) that's in it now.
