Is there any way i could use a truck tranny on my car? (83 camaro) i was thinkin like a 2wd s10 or sumthin, what about a 4wd truck? thanks.

 

What engine do you have and what kind of performance are you after? The 4WD is out and unless you have a 2.8 the S-10 is out (except for the 4.3 which uses the same bolt pattern).

I guess the real question is why a truck tranny? If you are assuming it is stronger, it isn't. The stronger trannies are the ones with the Vette rear planet (better lube but they all (except for the early V-6's) have the same number of clutches and the same geartrain. What makes a tranny better is the calibration, both the initial factory shift timing and aftermarket upgrades (TransGo Being the best).

 

i can get a truck with a 4.3l v6 and a 700r4 tranny for 500 bucks, and i cant find a car with a 700r4, and im looking for a 700r4

 

That would be fine then and being a V-6 it might shift a little higher at WOT than your average truck.
