LS7 and a TH400 or Powerglide? As the title states. Has anyone ever done this? I am in the process of possibly picking up an LS7 for my 98Z and would like to use either trans. Pref a powerglide but not partial to a TH400. If this has been done can someone provide the parts needed?

I use a JW ultra bell for a TH400 to a LS engine. has the correct bolt holes and is safe incase of a failure inside.
I also use a UMI performance trans cross member and Madman on here made me a dipstick tube to fit like stock. I had strange engineering build me a custom length drive shaft and of course a custom convertor from circle D. It has a th400 rear half and a LS engine snout so you do not need an adapter. thats about it.

I run a glide with my 445" LSX. Made 590/550 through the 6 speed. It's only a tenth off from my 6 speed time on motor. I went 6.68 with a 1.46 60ft at 104.35mph. With the glide I went 6.74 @ 104.8 with only a 1.55 60ft. That's with a nitrous convertor. So I'm sure with a loose 8 or 9" NA convertor it would had been even better. By a lot.
But it picked up considerably on nitrous. Like 8mph on the same size shot. Also the race weight is right around 3650-3700 with only a 3.90 gear and 28" tires. So the whole thing about glides won't work in heavy cars isn't always true.
But anyways. I went from a 6 speed to a glide. I had to buy a glide trans crossmember, PST driveshaft, shifter, convertor, B&M flexplate, PTC convertor, trans cooler, stainless -6 line, and black fittings for the case and cooler.
