Hi, looking at a C4 that needs an engine. My question is, if I bought any 350 block would it work with the heads and intake of the TPI system? I’m not willing to pay 1200 for a used replacement, I’d rather build one (leaving it stock) and leaving it fuel injected. I’d imagine on all 350’s the...

Sorry I should have been more specific. I meant does anyone know of any auto part stores that I can receive the right piece next day? I could order online but it would take too long I may have to buy a used one.

Hi, my 85 positive battery cable is FRIED. I cannot find a replacement let alone find how to replace it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

UPDATE: got the dipstick in. It’s being a real pain when I try to bolt it to the bellhousing/engine. I have spent the last half hour trying to get it to thread in. No luck yet.

Hi, I’m reinstalling my 700r4. I have every bolt hand tightened except for the one that connects to the filler tube (top right.) my problem is, I can’t get it to seat into the pan without messing up the alignment with the bellhousing. Any tips? There’s no way I’m pulling this transmission out...

Thanks! It really wasn’t that difficult, but the cooler lines even with it lowered were still a PITA.

Hi, I hope this will help someone with removing their auto trans. Disconnect battery. Disconnect tv cable from throttle body. Remove exhaust, from below the headers completely back. Just remove this entire portion of the exhaust. Remove drive shaft. (5/16). Remove c beam. 21 mm bolt and 19mm...

Hi, I have most of everything out to be able to remove my 700r4. I studied other threads but there are two things I couldn’t get. I need to remove my cooler lines. I figure I need to drop the trans quite a bit to do so, without it attached to the engine. Best way to remove the lines? (I have the...

I can’t really find any rebuild/overhaul (I know their different) kits for my year range. All I can find is 1982-84, and 86-94. Nothing for my 85. I’m looking to do an overhaul, not a full rebuild, but if I can find a rebuild kit that works I’ll buy it. I need the bare minimum though, including...

Yeah I guess it’d be a lot of work to have to swap ecus and all that. I see a compression test being done in the near future to really see where I’m at. I think for now I’ll be focusing on an exhaust and maybe headers, as those don’t rely on the health of my engine. If compression is good w all...

So really, in theory it would probably be cheaper to do a 400 engine swap or possibly build it to a 383 then?

Hi I’m contemplating what to do about my 85. Bought it 8 months ago for 1200. I’ve taken a lot of the interior out because I was going to re-do it. Never happened, so parts are just in pieces but it’s mostly intact. The exterior is also rough, but definitely looks nice from 10’. I’ve bought a...

Just making sure these will be a direct fit because my current seats are in terrible condition, and I’ve found a pair out of a 92. Anything special needed to be done to do this? My dr seat is power pass is manual adjustment. Thanks

I hope for your sake and mine this is my last time posting about my 700r4. I’ve found a cheap core that I’m looking to rebuild. I’ve heard people say it’s not that bad. I’d be buying a rebuild kit and any special tools I’d need, like a ring puller and whatever else that’s necessary. For those of...

Well to be honest I couldn’t tell you what’s wrong with it. A few weeks ago i filled it to be able to move it and a bunch of fluid was coming out of the splash shield. Now as it sits I haven’t noticed it leaking at all, and it still has fluid, even when being moved and run for quite a while. I...
