ejw71 Posted October 22, 2000 Share Posted October 22, 2000 I'm going to install a 700R4 in my '71/350. I've determined that the trans mount will be 2 1/8th inches further rearward. This is easily changed on the existing cross member. The lockup feature wil be set internally, thereby eliminating an external switch. Driveshaft changes depends trans being from a Chevy or from a Corvette. Try tciauto.com for transmission dimensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejw71 Posted November 8, 2000 Share Posted November 8, 2000 I intend to (hope to)use the column shifter for the 700R4. Check out www.shiftworks.com for changing over to later model quadrant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
