I am in need of a new tranny.
See lots of 700r4/4l60's on ebay,
Will any 700r4 bolt up?
aka will a v8 camaros 700r4 bolt up to my 2.8?

 

You have a 60* motor. Most trannys that you will find are for 90* motors. They may make a conversion plate... but you should find a 60* 700R4 tranny...

 

ok,
Every tranny place I contacted about a rebuilt tranny said it would bolt up no problem. So I assume they have the cores.

 

There are alot old 60* 700R4s around. S10s and F-bodies are the best sources for them. Its just most that you find in the performance rebuilt market is V8/90* bellhousing versions.

 

is the one im looking for a flattop?

 

Don't know where you are, but I've got a 700r4 you can have fr $100 if you pick it up.

 

:'(


new york...

 

Bummer. I know how tough it can be to track down 60* transmissions. I decided to go v8 with my Firebird, just cause I'm having such a hard time finding a 60* T5.

 

Well i am ordering the Silver Dart from Total Car Care,
check it out

I talked with the guy, he knows the tranny i need and says he has it
no problem,

800$ with 2000rpm converter shipped

Looks like a decent price by all means. Most builders are almost twice that price for a 700r4 with thoise same basic upgrades. The internals are all just "hand selected used parts" when it comes to the drum, sungear, etc but most of the other companies are also until you go aftermarket and the price goes even higher.

for the power these 60*V6's put out, that tranny sould last you a long time as long as it is not abused with geardrops and such. Good find.

Also, You are correct, you do want the tranny with the flat top housing.
THis is the only pic I have of my tranny out of my V6 Camaro and you can NOT see the top of the housing. But trust me it is flat unlike the V8 ones. I have vehiicle with a built V8 trans also. THis tranny you are looking at is valued retail at about 2800.00 just for the trans. Thans a custom 9" convertor and the V6 case trans has an aftermarket V8 imput shaft. There is nothing factory in it other than a NEW factory V8 drum. Everything else is custom in it.Jimmy Gilante who at one time owned Darrel Young Racing Transmissions was a good friend and built this special for my V6. t does not have a so called shift kit- THe entire valve body is redrilled and blueprinted.

Thats also a Carbon fiber driveshaft in the picture alsong with the factory V6 steel shaft.

 

He said that this is for a 60* motor???

 

no, he said as such "no problem I know exactly what you have it is a flat top 700r4 the price is the same"

 

No, the guy just said above that the seeler had one to fit his V6 and knew whgat he was talking about. There are 60*V6 cases, and 90* V6 & V8 cases.

 

Hey just trying help... I know that all the guys on EBAY say they know what there talking... MUST

Anyway, if you live on or near Long Island, give Select tranny (631) 501-1245 a call before you buy from EBAY and pay for shipping... they build racing trannys and HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT...

 

would they be able to do somthing for 800?

 

To answer the question, the 60* (2.8,3.1) 700R4 has a flat top/bellhousing, and the 90*(SBC,4.3) has the triangled top. Hope this helps and you find a good tranny.

 

$8-1300 should be able to get yours rebuilt with quality parts.
