whats involved in putting a T700 in a WB van , it would be going on a 5.0 Turbo pattern block from a HZ.

I don't believe it's real hard. Just make sure you don't get a computer controlled box. You need to fabricate a rear mount, which is only a slightly modified trimatic/4/3speed one and shorten a trimatic tailshaft to suit. The box should use a TH400/TH350 |

Hi Guys.
Yes, Byron is correct al VN/VP V8 autos were TH700.
They had a cable TV control similar to a TH350.
I've fitted one to an HZ 308 in place of a TH 400.
I used a TH350 crossmember & tailshaft. Because the box is slightly longer, I mount |
If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |

They are nowhere near as tough as a TH400, and heaps dearer to rebuild. If you tow a lot I'd stick with the 400. If you want overdrive stick a 2.78 or 2.6 diff in it. The 308 should have sufficient grunt to push it. a 3.08 diff with a 0.85:1 overdrive is |

Whats the most common way of getting the convertor to lockup when you are running these boxes behind the older motors? and is there any easy way to tell if a T700 is computer controlled or not?
Thanks

You can fit a switch, but if you forget to flick it off you'll burn the TCC. If you know someone who is an electronics nut, you can probably get them to build you a little frequency detecting circuit, that will flick an output high or low above & below c Edited by user Thursday, 7 April 2005 9:38:05 AM(UTC)
