700r4 guys, come on in!

I need to get my trans built before the motor goes back in.

Here are my two options:

Stock rebuild kit: no link (suggestions)?


Street strip kit:

There are a few upgrade options at the bottom, are any of them worth it?

I have a guy that can rebuild it for me it's just tough to swallow $600. Anyone have any other recommended kits? The car will go to track a few tins in the summer and I'm unsure if I'm planning in dd'ing it or not.

what are your engine mods/ what are your future plans for the engine and rear.

[mcalus]

Motor is all back together sitting on kmember waiting for trans.

Fresh 355, LE 226/232 .576 .572 110, stock crank and rods, new bearings throughout.
Full bolt ons
Stock rear until... kaboom lol
Thinking of going with a Revmax 3600-4000 stall.

i would go with the street strip kit.

Have you tried calling them and asking for their suggestion?

Not yet

Bring this back a bit.

New question, I need to change my wot shift points. Currently I'm shifting wot at 4600 rpms. I have read I need to change the govenor springs. Where can I get the ones I need and what do I need?

Thanks!!!

Buy a BM or tci gov recal kit. Like $50.
It will take a few tries. The weights generally affect high rpm shift and the springs affect part throttle.
Make small changes.

Thanks Larry. Where can I get it from?

If it were my car id weight it to shift at about 2500 so i could shift it manually for everything but cruising. Thats how my cousins coronet is setup and i love it!

Don't you mean the other way around? Shift it while cruising but let it shift itself during WOT/track runs?

[mcalus]

What kind of installation kit should I get for the rear? About to order some 3.73s

Nope. A mechanical trans will shift responsively when shifted manually.

Brian's 93 Z28 was setup this way.

+1 for shifting manually at the track. Did that with the Coan 700R4 in my last T/A. Get a Neal Chance converter, the lock up felt like another gear!
