700r4 Swap

Can I take a 700r4 out of a 90 Camaro Iroc with a 350 and bolt it directly up to a 78 Camaro with a 350? Will I have to change any other parts besides the speed sensor and driveshaft?

It will need a way to control the converter lockup.

Yup, or you can get a non locking set up. but yes, it will bolt right to it. might have some Trans tunnel clearances.. have to try and see.

TCI sells a nice converter lock up kit for around $70.00. You will also need a different length drive shaft and I believe transmission cross member as the bolt locations will be different.

Re: 700r4 Swap

Does the 78 use a vacuum modulator? If so you'll have to find a way to mount the TV cable.
