If you want to convert it to a 4x4
The output shaft needs to changed it is a shorter shaft and the transmission has to come completely apart to do this, and you need to replace the tail shaft housing to one that will fit the transfer case you will be using.I have just done this to mine that I am transplanting into my jeep

Re: 700r4 4x4

As noted above, 4wd transmissions have a considerably shorter output shaft. Changing it requires basically a complete dissassembly.

If it is a 2wd trans from other than an f-body you will likely need to carry over your f-body tail housing due to the tq arm mount(assuming stock/tailshaft mounted) and while you are in there, carry over your speedo gears to properly calibrate the speedometer.
