The bell housing pattern is the same, but the front driveshaft yoke is different. Driveshaft length is probably different. Might need to move the tail shaft mount. Not sure how to deal with the speedometer cable and kickdown, but an online retailer like Summit or Jeg's would likely be able to sell you what you need.
I guess you can if you want. But I don't know WHY you would want to. the 700R4 is a MUCH better transmission. If you change, your fuel milage will be WORSE and the Engine will turn more RPMs. ( Hard on engine )
yes
Turbo 300, Turbo 350, Turbo 400 and 700R4 are the first ones that came to mind.
Factory would have been a 350 TURBO.
700r4 NEW ANSWER: That would be the 400 turbo
Yes but you may have to shorten the drive shaft if it is a 350 turbo going to a non electronic 700r4
turbo 350 or 700r4 turbo 350 or 700r4

if its overdrive its a 700r4 if 3speed it should be a turbo 400 It came factory with a 4L80E Transmission
If it has overdrive it is most likely a 700R4 transmission, if it doesn't,it is most likely a 350 turbo.
well there was a "turbo hydromatic 700r4 or th700r4" or the 4l80e hope this helps
The 1987 Chevy van typically comes equipped with either a Turbo Hydra-Matic 400 or a Turbo Hydra-Matic 700R4 automatic transmission, depending on the engine configuration and specific model. The 700R4 features overdrive, which enhances fuel efficiency, while the Turbo Hydra-Matic 400 is a three-speed automatic known for its durability. For manual transmission options, a five-speed manual may also be available. Always check the specific vehicle for the exact transmission installed.
