A guy just bought a 700R4 from me on eBay. He is concerned that the tranny came out of a V8 it will not bolt up to his V6. Is this true?

Thanks in advance for your help!

 

different input shafts

won't work

 

Let alone the bellhousing flange.

 

Thanks guys! That is all I need to know.

 

figured i'd just give him the big one and leave it at that

 

will it bolt to a V6? Sure...
It just depends on the V6 your talking about...

 

don't you mean different Trq converter patern? Though one can get a smaller diameter trq converter patern to bolt up, the trans bellhousing MAY be different.
This is of course comparing 60* blocks to 90* blocks.

 

trans input shafts have different teeth count

 

Yes I know that, but when your dealing with an Auto... it is not as pertenant.. you just need to find a matching trq converter...

So it is not like your tring to find a match with a smaller clutch disk...

 

i deal with transmissions all day yes a 700r4 will fit a v6 whats this crap about diff input shafts? what the hell u talkin about?? if there was any concern at all it would be an easy soulutuion! like if the torq conveter pater was diff,.., no big deal at all just change the flex plate.,,.im realy suprised all these chevy ppl on this forum and no one could tell you that ,.., ill tell this to also what would fit is a th400 and a th350 even the 4l60e the only real thing to concider would be the computer., but there is no reason a 700r4 wont bolt to a v6 camaro UNLESS ITS FRONT WHEEL DRIVE OF COURSE "DRIVE LINES CAN ALWAYS BE MODIFIED"

 

You deal with em all day, yet you dont know theres a difference between the housing flange on a SBC vs a 60* V6, you need to take your behind back to school. A 700R4 from a SBC will NOT bolt to a 60* V6, which is what was asked, I dont care how much you want to think its the same, its COMPLETELY different, now go away and come back when you've got the correct data.

 

IM RUNNING A 700R4 IN A 60* V6 bottom line bro................only callin it how i done it also there are bell housing adapter plate's still no big deal if that WAS the case.,.,.,im courious bro what typ of auto trans you think are v6's are runnin??????????????????????

 

you are an idiot. obviously the 700r4 in your v6 is for the v6, because you CAN NOT BOLT A V8 700R4 UP TO A 60* V6.

 

I am running a V8 imput shaft with a custom 9" V8 torque convertor attached to a V6 700r4 case- Nothing inside the trans is stock- It was built for scratch for my buddy Jimmy who owned Darrell Youngs Racing Transmissions.

I threw the entire stock V6 700r4 in the dumpster.

 

Thank you captain obvious, you are running a 700R4, no chit so are 80% of the other 2.8/3.1 V6's around here, they made a completely different case to fit the 60* V6 bolt pattern. Yay an adapter plate for a V8 700R4 to a V6, the fix for the problem that doesnt exist

 

that is why if you look a what I wrote I addressed that specifically.
As long as you have the same trans bolt pattern, and a input shaft matcing Trq converter, your gold.

No as to what I being argued by others...

If you do not know that a 60* and a 90* trans have different bolt patterns, sell your car, and get a bus pass please. Because your are obviously too damn stupid to own a car.

 

woah, back the freedom train up there, your not to stupid to own a car. just to ignorant to do transmission swaps on one.

i did not know that (though i would have guessed) and i am not stupid. i also do not have any delusions of grandure when it comes to transmissions though.

now play nice or the mods are gonna come and lock this usefull thread up tight

 

A 60* V6 engine has TWO TOP BELLHOUSING BOLT HOLES VERY CLOSE together about what 5" apart?
A 90* V6 engine has the two top bellhousing bolt holes much further apart.
The 90* V6 700R4 will fit a V8 GM engine.
But trying to stick a 60* V6 700R4 onto a 90* V6 engine, just won't work, unless ya seek an adaptor.
At that point might as well find the right tranny for those engines.

 

a buddy of mine has a 86 2.8L v6, and a guy is telling him dropping in a 305 from another 86 camaro will drop in and fit with no problems.

any truth/lies to this?

 

lies as far as the trans bolting up.

 

I stand corrected,.i dod alot of rear wheel drive transmissions.,even rebuild them,.they are the same internaly.,but the housing is differant
,.as many as ive done i never noticed it befor though., my boss just tells me what to do .,., ,..,.,.,

I do relize there is something new to learn every day![lol]
just like the time i never measured the tail shaft on a short tail,.to use as a replacement for a long tail.,it woulda worked but was not about to have the drive line cut shorter.,hehe,.,.

Oh yea i remember that day,, the feeling of accompishment ,.then the suden feeling of [retardness],. Any how sorry to those i argued this topic with.,i admit it i was wrong.,.,all appologies,.......

 

i have a v6 with a 7000r4 will the 700r4 bolt up to a v8

 

as I told you before, and in this entire thread NO IT WILL NOT!

 

QFT!

But, I'd like to know what a 7000R4 is!

 

dang v6sucker,.that seemd a lil rude.,who pissed on your parade? i understand this is just "my" opinion but kinda harsh for someone who might just be a lil confused.,.,ive seen quite a few members give the same advice/knowledge, over and over again with understanding.,Ok so maby thats not you,.and even if you candy coat it on how you said it.,in person it would seem lil rude and disrespectful,bro

 

But if it werent for the misinformation you provided, the last guy asking if it will work wouldnt have asked, because he wouldnt be confused by the incorrect info you provided.

 

maybe if the person had even BOTHERED to READ the thread, I would not have been as "harsh"... but *** damn... to post a question at the end of a thread that dealt SPECIFICALLY with what he was asking and said NUMBEROUS times that,

"No they are not the same externally on the bellhousing. They are not interchangable, so stop asking if they are"

Is just pure stupidity... I will not even go into the misinformation part, you at least applogized for that.

 

im the one who asked, it was for a friend, dont be a dick buddy.

i did read the above posts, but i heard more then once it will, and it wont, i know now that it wont.

 

if you read that it would not, and then read the person that said it would retracted that statement... why ask?
I was not being a dick to you...

and when I replied specifically to YOU, I was not a dick. I told you "it was lies as far as it bolting up" in reference to you asking if it would bolt to both engines.

So try to get the quotes right.

 

60* and 90* TRANSMISSIONS WILL NOT INTERCHANGE!!!

Done

They have different bolt patterns, that could be solved with an adapter plate and a custom torque converter and whatnot but in the end i dont think its worth it. Why not just get the proper trans and be done with it.

 

i told him that you will need to get a v8 700r4 or 350 turbo, but the guy he bought the camaro from told him that he would be able to drop the 305 in place of the v6 and everything will bolt


everyone, thanks for the info.

 

This thread is dead, Jim
Yes, Bones, I see it now.

 

Wow, no more coffee for you guys!!

 

Maybe this is just me, but if my tranny were to throw up on me tomorrow I'd probably just be depending on the guy at Aamco to figure it out. By the way does anyone need this coupon?
