Clifford Automotive Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 So why would the tranny be weak if it, sat behind a 2.8? Becuase it wouldn't have as much wear on it, as if it was sitting behind a 305 or a built 350. Are you or someone you know going to rebuild it? I can make a phone call and get you prices. And a quote to have it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1647545494 Posted March 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 the 700r4 from behind a 2.8 has a specific bolt pattern that I need. Stock 700r4 internals are weak. I'm looking for TCI or B&M parts or a rebuilders equivilant. I will most likely be rebuilding the tranmision myself but if labor is pretty low on a bench rebuild with a warranty I might be interested. I'm not going to use a three speed becuase I like being able to cruise at something under 3000 rpm on the freeway. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
