Well guys and gals, I got the other head ported and on the block, along with the lower intake manifold. Im going to sandblast the SLP runners and polish them.

Bad news is that I started putting in my shift kit for the 700R4 and found out the front pump is ****ed up. So I pulled it off and found the bands were all junk. What a mess though.



We have a GM service replacement 700R4 out in the shed my dad is going to give me in return for some work on his hotrod, though, so that's cool.

is it bad that I have no clue what that picture is of?

[SS4Matt]

seeing how you have an auto as well brian... umm... i think so maybe just a little? haha just kidd'n...yeah i wouldn't know what that is either except my step-dad designs "vacuum head machines" that clean trans parts on assembly lines so he always has stuff like that lying around for taking measurements off...so well im with you brian.. i wouldn't have had any idea what that is if it wasn't for them layin around my house all the time.

Looks like a metal ant farm.

[SS4Matt]

LMAO!!! that is a good one...i've never thought of that before lol

[greenmachine]

looks like a brain

[MattODoom]

Its a fricken transmission valve body, lol.

[JoeliusZ28]

i wouldve seen that as a message from God to convert to a six speed

[SS4Matt]

i agree with Joel mmmm T56 time i believe???

[MattODoom]

I'd like too, but I just think a manual would be more of a pain in the ass then its worth.

And slower too

[SS4Matt]

i love manuals!....auto's are not enough fun for me

[wezeles]

manuals are much more fun to rebuild... well i wouldnt call it fun... just way better than an auto 90% of the time i just find a new auto trans... i dont mind rebuilding a 350 or 400 but the 700r4 seen the inside to many times...lol from the factory one of the worst overdrive trans GM ever built... but if you toss like 100 bucks into them you can fix all the glitches... like that valve body...lol

That's a hell of a winter project! I thought I was ahead of the game by tinting the windows in my V6 camaro! lol I like that. . . "metal ant farm." Makes sense though!
