Will a 700r4 retro fit with turbo 350 transmission in a 78 camaro?

Answer 1

It will bolt up....but if I remember correctly, you have to trim a little bit off the transmission cross member to clear the pan. One other thing to keep in mind is that the 700-R4 is designed to work with a lock up torque converter. You either need to get a stand alone control module for this or buy a special torque converter designed for

this swap.

I'd like to add, most tranny shops have lock-up and non lock-up converters. NBD. I've been running a non lock-up for years. Get someone who really understands how the "kick-down" cable works. Now its a TV cable that controls pressure in the trans. I've seen guys smoke brand new transmissions in a few blocks when they got it wrong!! If you get a torque converter from a reputable builder that was originally built for a V6 with a 700R4, bingo 2200 rpm stall!! For about $50.
