Block modifications

[01GPGT]

the trans will be rebuilt before it sees any real power so that is not a consern of mine

Yes later 4L60E Transmissions have removable cases. The 2.2L was used until 02 or 03 so you can choose one with the 2 part case if you wish.

so i could in theory(sp) buy a 4L60 from a LS1 car remove the bell housing and just buy a bell housing fror a 2.2 s-10? well jeese this is a bit easier then a i thought.

the controler will be a snag though i bet they are pricey

i found a thm700 for a 2.5L 4cyl S-10 any one know what bolt pattern that has? i can not see to find mutch info on it i think it is the iron duke like what is also in the F-bodies and fiero

"The Tech IV uses the same bellhousing pattern as the 2.8 L 60-Degree V6."

I don't know what side the starter is on but it is the same pattern.

/me raises hand!

I want to put a 3500 in mine, and am trying to make my turbo setup so it will even swap over

[01GPGT]

well then now i am going to have to look lol

i will probably look at it on wensday then.

[ForcedFirebird]

Are you sure it's not easier to notch the bell housing in the RWD auto? I'll be mounting a 4t60 (non-e) to the motor in my garage in the next few days, so I'll be taking a closer llok at it.

[01GPGT]

it's a no go any way found a pic of an iron duke from a S-10 and the starter was on the pass side

looks like puting in a notch will be the easiest and cheapest way. if it can be done i do not have the parts to actualy see if it would work or not

[ForcedFirebird]

I do. I am swapping a Performabuilt Level2 into a customer's car, and will have a slipping trans to work with

[01GPGT]

sweet let me know what you find

hope i can get the car soon so i can start doing some R&D my self

[1QUICKHATCH]

I don't think you have to notch the auto trans. It looked like the starter would work on the left or right with the th200 (3 speed) in my 83 firebird. just needed to make/ modify the torque converter cover for the oppiste side. I would look in to it more but my trans is too deep in my storage unit right now.

[01GPGT]

the TH200 was desind to also work with an Olds engine so it has the nothch all ready i bealve the 700 does not but with out the parts i can't say.


FF did you look at the trans yet?
