    Low Profile!

    If I dont use the rubber frame mounts how can i secure it to the frame? Thank you.
  2. Do they make a low profile trans mount? Or a crossmember that lets the trans sit a little lower? Thank you!
  3. WOW! Love the car man! What backsapcing are those rims?
  4. Just started installing the GV unit! What a pain its a super tight fit the worst part is the biggest part of the unit is right where the floor support is at! Alot of cutting and hammer swinging!
  5. What trans would benefit me? I kinda dont want to get rid of the GV.I think I would rather change my trans when the time presents itself! What would be the ideal all around set-up for a car that will be driven alot?
  6. Ok sorry for being dumb but all these #'s confused me. What should I do? Confused and light headed!!!!lol
  7. Wow those numbers really suck! How about this if I just dont engage the last OD on the GV unit, I just use the 700R4 OD? Changing my cam is really not an option at this time. Should I just get rid of either the 700 or the GV unit?
  8. Ok this is the cam I will be using. :)Hydraulic roller, lopey idle. Great street machine cam! Likes upgraded intake carburetor and exhaust. Needs 9.5:1 or better compression and 2500 RPM stall speed converter and a 3.42 or better rear gear ratio. Advertised Duration (Int/Exh): 282/290 Duration @ .050 (Int/Exh): 231/239 Gross Valve Lift (Int/Exh): .535/.550 LSA/ICL: 110/106 Valve Lash (Int/Exh): Hyd/Hyd RPM Range: 1600-6200 Part # 60112 Part Number: 60112 And it is carbureted. It has a ProSystems carb 4150 I will have the money for the rear end but not for both the rear end and a new trans. Thats why I want to get it right the first time. What would you guys do. Its looking more and more like I should be going to something like a 3.42-3.73! Yes/No???
  9. Oh yes sorry you are correct Bill it would be an 8-speed. Here is the whole story I had the 700R4 way before I even thought about a GV unit but I found such a great deal on the unit that I couldnt pass it up. I have no money for this project any more (for now)so I cant replace the trans like I really want to. So in youre guys opinion what would be the best set up using the parts i have. Im running a 2500 stall and currently a 2.73 gear open rear end. I still havent even driven the car once in the 4 yrs that ive owend it But I'm so close now I can smell the exhaust fumes ;0 Thank you.
  10. So I have a 700r4 trans and jsut installed a gear vendors unit so now its like a close ratio 6-speed auto:) its mated to a 385 SBC Stroker! that will be street driven. my question is with the double over drive I will have now, How tall can I go with the rear gear before its too much to drive it around? I was looking at either 4.10 or 4.56! here is the graph they show: Thank you! ______________700R4/4L60E 4-SPEED AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE Axle Ratio___________4.88_____4.56____4.10___3.73___3.42__3.23 _____Trans Ratio____________Final Drive Ratio____________ 1st_________3.06____14.93____13.95__12.55__11.41__10.47__9.88 Over________2.39____11.64____10.88__9.79___8.90___8.17___7.71 2nd_________1.63____7.95_____7.43___6.68___6.08___5.57___5.26 Over________1.27____6.20_____5.80___5.21___4.74___4.34___4.10 3rd_________1.00____4.88_____4.56___4.10___3.73___3.42___3.23 Over________0.78____3.81_____3.56___3.20___2.91___2.67___2.52 4th GM O/D__0.70____3.42_____3.19___2.87___2.61___2.39___2.26 Double OD___0.55____2.67_____2.49___2.24___2.04___1.86___1.76
  11. I got them and I put them on, but my car wont run for a few more weeks im doing the painless wiring kit for the whole car, all new fuel system(electric fuel pump) all new suspension. So I will be busy busy busy. I finished all new brakes, with rear disk brakes, body mounts, electric fans, a stroker 385 with a pro systrems 4150 carb.And fatmatted the whole interior. oh and i also installed the billet dash with all autometer gauges. So yea too much to do not enought time or money........But I love it.....
  12. Hey guys I did the rear disc conversion with all new brake lines. my question is: What master/booster (from what model/year vehicle) would be the best fit and easiest to add? I already have a disc/disc adjustable proportioning valve.Thank you.
  13. Just ordered the parts from Jegs . Thank you guys. I also got my Pro Performance carb today in the mail its a beautiful thing!!!
  14. Awesome thanks guys. I'll be waiting for the #'s
  15. I just bought a Pro-Performance 4150 carb for my Monte and my question is what throttle bracket and kickdown bracket can I use for a 700r4 trans? Is their a combo type bracket? I havent received the carb yet its only been a few days. And its a SB just in case it matters. Thank you.
  16. I emailed them over a month ago they said they would let me know when I can put my order in, still nothing in over a month already
  17. Hello I recently installed a 700r4 trans in my Monte it has the electric speedo type, so I bought an electric speedo. My question is do you guys know if they sell a stand alone connector of some sort or how can I make this work. Thank you.
  18. What manufacturer do you guys recomend? It will be daily driven.
  19. Heloo all! I'm about ready to get my 12 bolt open 2.?? gears or so replaced and the whole rear end rebuilt. My question is I found a (posi carrier)on local craigslist off a 70' Chevelle Part # EDB-30174 for $300 OBO is this a good buy or just get a new one? It is a 4 series 30 spline. Im looking to run 3.42 or 3.73 gears. Can I even run those gears in that carrier. Sorry if its a dumb question.
  20. How much to get this done? And how long would it take? Looks very very nice.....
