I think you already have a 700r4. When I had trouble with it last year I checked and the bolt pattern on the pan indicated it was a 700r4 IIRC.
You are correct but the v8/4.3 700r4 and 2.8 700r4 aren't the same, not interchangeable.
The parabolic arc of guy on a buffalo is impressive.
Wouldn't a TBI 350 + 700R4 be $0 for you, since you took that out of RaceTruck (TM)? Or did you sell those already?
And yeah, not just SBC bellhousing bolt pattern vs. GM Metric on the 2.2/2.5/2.8, but the early 700R4s (and whatever 3-speed auto they used then) were pretty weak. Besides, an S-10 beater needs to be a 5-speed anyway. :p

I sold it to someone off Texags for like $225 lol
Really regret selling it now, some may recall a thread I started where I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it.
A 5 speed would be awesome but that means more work and it's something I'd want to get done quickly. It should go smoother since I just have more general automotive knowledge after the first swap haha

I finally calculated the gas mileage today, 19.5 MPG. So just 1 MPG over RACETRUCK lol
The Camry normally pulled 25 MPG but being in a gutless truck is better than being in a gutless car IMO

4BT swap or GTFO.
Enuff with all the numbers mumbo jumbo....

Still want to work on the interior before exterior, contemplating maybe some F-body buckets

Yeah, I knew it wouldn't built up to a V8. That was my next question. I didn't realize they had two versions (I'm not an expert, believe me). Nevermind
Pulled a vacuum on the A/C and now waiting to see if it holds after replacing a few fittings and Schrader valve. Hoping like hell it holds because it has been hot on the ride home!
Got a few tint quotes so far, one from Fabien but it'd be a bit harder for me to go with him due to distance. Waiting to get a call back from the guy who did RACETRUCK.

Effin' A
Drove it right off the lot
That's a GIANT picture. Wowzers.
On my phone lols
Should get tint on Thursday, going with the guy who did RACETRUCK who gave the exact same quote as MBC. He's just an hour closer.
5% straight cut brow, 20% fronts, and 5% rear.

Got some "privacy" glass. My tint guy doesn't carry 20%, just 15% and 28% so guess which I opted for. Paired with 5% brow and rear it's nice and dark.
How do you see stop lights?
Hell, I've got the factory dot matrix gradient on my truck and have to lean over a most lights to see green.

I had an external visor on my 49 Chevy truck - about had to get out and stand by the truck to see a light. That's what those traffic light viewing prisms from the 50s were all about!
Looks good.

Double tap.

I'd paint it white with 2" red rocker panel stripes with about a 3/4" blue stripe above and below the red. Get some chrome 15's and paint a Texas flag on the roof.
Toss a keg in the bed and you're set to rock.

Blue star for mustang. That's genius.

I like money but I also like low and the drop kit could be a birthday gift to myself.

Bags or GTFO
Oh, and Centerpole wins this thread in 3 replies.
Thank you. I'll be here all week.
You paying?
Hellzno. but for beer I will run the torch and hack frame, springs, fenders, whatever.
I presume the publican has coils in the front and leafs in the back? Are bags the only way to go or can you static drop?

I'm doing static, 3" in front and 3-4.5" in the rear.
I'll keep the 14's for now but when it needs new tires I'll get 15x6 wrapped in 215/65 tars and rear gets 15x8 wrapped with 235/60 tars with v6 and when it has a 350 I'll slap on the 275/60s I have in my garage
