Going from 200c-700r4
What will i need to do to replace my 200-c hydromatic transmission with a 700r4. What other items would i need along with the transmission.
On the side note i heard some 700r4 are 3-speeds but its comming from a 86 camaro so i take it that its a 4 speed?

Re: Going from 200c-700r4
will need the 700 r4 driveshaft and crossmember,as i
remember you have to drill 1 extra hole to use the 700
r4 on an '82 and hold a nut on the other side to mount
the crossmember.Other parts that may be needed are
shifter,shift cable,shift plate, 700r4 torque arm,
possibly 700r4 throttle cable,speedo cable,cooler lines.
the '82 floor pans are slightly different from '83 up,but
don't know if it makes a difference swapping '83 up
parts to an '82.
My car went from super t-10 to turbo 350 to 700r4
