hey guys, gearing up for my swap. I have a built 700r4 ready to go(i know i know, i should use a 200-4r but i can't afford it, a good built 200 is a nice chunk of change. Plus the tq arm and xmember is another couple hundred)
So anyway, anyone that has run a 700r4 with that adapater plate, any problems with it? any help would be great
Well its more for $$ reasons. I see 200-4r's that need rebuild going for $400, not to mention a good rebuild is a nice chunk of change, then i'd need a new DS, and a spohn tq arm and x-member, those 2 right there is 400 bucks. I'd be spending around $800 and i haven't even had the tranny rebuilt yet, maybe down the road i'll swap a nicely built 200-4r in but not right now.....i'll try it with the 700-r4...just gotta hope that 1-2 gear drop doesn't kill me
don't worry the motor should be in late next month
so you think i'll be fine with the 700-r4? WOW you're like the first turbo buick guy that has told me that, and for someone of your status to say that makes me feel better lol
I am now gettting info on this plate as well ,as I am doing the same swap as you ,but into my 89 camaro.My engine is currently at Cottons.I will be picking it up in the comming weeks.We could help each other out.Im glad I found this post,I too have a 700R4 built,with a vigilante 9.5 stall and trango shift kit and tci pan on mine.I have way too much money in my trans to swap to a 200r4.Steve Kaminski says that these cars run faster with the 700 than with the 200.Dont know if that is true.I called TCI today,they told me the kit is complete,with the spacers for the torqu converter and all.Im going to be getting it soon.Next thing is the motor mounts...

cool man what work did u get done at Cottons? Mine is bone stock aside from a AFPR and a Trasher 92 chip. The exhaust and suspension is already done on my car...so i'm hoping for around a 12.8-13.0 in street trim, so we'll see
We actually use the reverse one from the one you need. We have a SBC in the car to test all of our outbound transmissions.
We need the chevy motor to BOP adaptor to run the bop style trans'. Testing in a car , is the only way to go. And with 312,000 miles on a 327 it will run low 13. The new 391 c.i. stroked 350 going in made 603ftlbs on the dyno, So it should be interesting.
