Re: [Chevelle-List] Gearvenders under/over verses 700R4

[Herbert Lumpp]

Hey John,   I swapped a 700R4 into my 76 Vette about 6 or 7 years ago and I think it was one of the best changes I made to that car - to this day that trans works like a charm and with 3.70 rear gears I get 21 mpg on the highway.   One thing to keep in mind, especially if your car has a short wheelbase (like a Vette) the Gearvenders adds length to the trans, and from the pictures I've seen, the extra length looks like quite a bit. cYa-   Herb Lumpp 1966 El Camino ACES 3509, MCC 528 http://users.adelphia.net/~hlump/ ----- Original Message ----- From: jlon5 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 04, 2002 6:24 AM Subject: [Chevelle-List] Gearvenders under/over verses 700R4 Anyone have any opinions on Gearvenders under/over drive verses a 700R4 tranny swap. I currently have a TH400 driving a 3.73 12 bolt posi and the revs are way to steep for long highway cruisin', 3000 @ 60 mph. Would like to drop them down to around 2000 @ 60 without swapping out rearend.   Thanks in advance, John L. 70 SS454 ACES #5597
