[Chevelle-list] transmission question

2006-02-21 Thread Bob Haggard
I have a 2003 4L60 from a pickup that was behind a 5.3 that I am considering using behind a new 350 Ram Jet crate motor to be installed in my 70 Nova. I understand that I will need to buy a computer and wiring harness to make it work. Is anyone running this transmission and will it stand up

Well not to answer your question,but I have had my stock 350 eng and my stock 350 trans, rebuilt..the 350 engine and now has over 400 hp and I drag race with my car club about 6 times during the summer and my stock trans holds up just fine...So I would bet your trans would be fine. Ron -

Buy the computer and use the 4L60E transmission. It is essentially the same internals as the 700 and with the computer control they are MUCH more reliable than the 700. The electronic is not as tempermental as the 700's. Daniel De Smet 1964 Chevelle From:Bob Haggard [EMAIL

TH350and 400's can hold up under that power but I am guessing you like the idea of overdrive. An Add-on ECU is required for the swap. They can be a little pricey but the end product will be a nice drivetrain combo for you. A friend recently swapped a 4 cyl diesel into a truck. He used a

I liked the tool more before I saw the email. Telling you that it is designed for a max of 30 lb-ft of torque implies that they will break easily. They further go on to have only a 1 year warranty and they warn you that signs of abuse will void your warranty. Of course, they also say that

A 4L60E needs a computer to function properly. A 4L60 or 700R4 does not. That 92 trans is a good unit to build. Any post-89 unit is. I used a 90 4L60 behind the healthy 468 in my 68 El Camino. Only problem I had with it was the lock-up clutch started slipping after five years and much hard use.
