hey guys. i can get my hands on a CHEAP turbo350 tranny and was wonderin gif it would be worth it to put it into my '88 camaro. right now i have a 700 r4. thanx

 

What is your goal, lower gas mileage or less acceleration in 1st and 2nd, or maybe a hotter running tranny at cruise? In other words, why take a step backwards? Not to mention CHEAP is usually another word for junk.

I swapped out my th350 for a 700r4. My cruise rpm went from 3000rpm at 60mph to 2150rpm at 60. The th350 is a strong tranny and has it's purpose, but if you drive down the highway/interstate much the overdrive is very nice.

I just put mine in 3 weeks ago and LOVE it. Obviously i misss the OD. It al depends what your going t6o do with the car. TH350 is stronger( for cheaper) but at the expensive of losing OD
