My 89 Camaro Project

[Superdave]

first ever 700R bolted to a 3500?



Spohn K member installed:




Got a few things to take care of before i can get the engine/trans in to make mounts. Hopefully soon...

[Superdave]

Picked up my 700R4 this morning, it's pretty clean. No idea on the miles but the fluid looks good. Came out of a 93 Camaro. 93 was the last true 700R4 in the Fbodies, 94 is when they started changing things.


It looks like i'll have no problems putting the FWD engine on this trans, there is no notch for the starter so i'll just have to modify a stock V6 flexplate cover.

your moving right along.

Keep up the good work.

I don't think i'm going to use the tubular K member, a local guy wants it for his LSx swap and has offered me a nice trade deal. 2 Jegs "Sport Star" 15x4 skinnies with brand new Front Runners and some cash. This will help me to get a trans, converter and maybe a shift kit.

Then i'd just pick up some matching 15x10 or 15x8 for the rear to use with drag radials.


I did some measuring last night and it looks like i can just mod my stock K member for the needed pan clearance.



BTW, no pics but i pulled the rear end out last night. Dropping the gas tank tonight to get ready for the install of a Sy/Ty pump.

I was going to say, no where did you say they switched it to a 5-speed with the v8 swap. But I was waiting for you to chime in.

This car has always been an auto...

[ForcedFirebird]

The RWD I can understand, it's going from manual v8 to automatic v6 that I don't get, I mean usually people do that the other way around :P

I raped an 11 sec v8 car to put parts on my car. Dave just hasn't turned his adventures into a business yet, that's when your car suddenly get's put on a back-burner

Shit, not only did you go RWD but your going automatic too... Dave I love you... LMAO!

Yes, I have seen it, and no they don't make what I am looking for...

[Superdave]

I'm thinking more and more about just using a 700R-4 and installing the transgo shift kit.


that would take any guesswork out about the flywheel and save me time on tuning and fabricating. Plus i already have a B&M Megashifter.. might as well use it :P

I'm still trying to find a tranny crossmember that will fit a 4L60E into a Mustang properly...

Brad... About that particular hybrid tranny mate-up and support problem, just in case you have not already seen this site and product(s)... Take a look at this place:

His ex is an old friend of my wife, all is good there.


I did just find out that i'll have to modify my trans crossmember for the 4L60E, no biggie there. Just putting good use to all the scrap metal i've been storing for years.

As one of the technical advisors on TheRangerStation.com says:

I put my trust in sparky the magic smoke wrench.
