I figured I'd throw this out there and see what is needed. I've got a 700r4 out of my old, wrecked IROC-Z. It was built very strong and has a manual shift body and was incredibly fast for shifting. I don't really want to sell it so I was wondering if it would be possible to put it in my '98 Z28 and what would be necessary for it to fit. I know I'd need an adapter plate for the bellhousing, and possibly some alterations to the tranny mount, but has anyone else done this sorta thing? I think this tranny would be great for my LS1 build and it shifted faster and harder than this stocker could ever hope to. Please let me know what I need to do to get it to work. thanks

You'll want a bracket from BowTieOverdrive (700r4.com) to adapt the critical TV cable to your LS1 setup. I bought one of their systems to adapt my 4160 carb and it worked awesome. No worries about frying the tranny either cuz the cable geometry isn't right.

Would you happen to know where the adapter plates for 700r4-LS1 could be found? I'm sure some of the th350/th400 guys would know!

im doing a th400 conversion soon and i dont plan on using an adapter plate. Ive heard the tranny bolts line up fine minus the 12 o clock bolt. When i did my research for my conversion i didnt really see anyone using one. it may be different with the 700r4 but i think you'll be ok.

the bellhousings are all the same between the SBC/BBC trannies, they only differ with a BOP (Buick, Olds, Pontiac) and thats if it's specific to BOP; if you're running a Chevy tranny, then this should work too! Thanks m8
