I am no longer putting in a T700 ( read below for old details ) or click here
for the latest installed box in the charger ( powerglide )
The Box (Under Construction)
Turbo Hydromatic 700, Turbo 700 or TH700, 4L60E or 4L80E
Why so many ways to say Turbo 700 ?? so people find this page in search engines ;)
Why not A904 Torqueflite.... I WANT Overdrive !!!! you get that with 3.7:1 gears
I have spend a bit of time on how I can setup a 700 on a hemi sofar I have got 3 options
1. Castlemaine Rod Shop ( CRS ) Adapter plate about $500 from Rod Hadfield
2. Pentastar Parts & Restorations are currently working on a conversion that used a Th700 from a V6 commodore.
What you do it cut off the bell housing from the TH700 install you bute adapter ring and bolt up a standard borgwarner 35 ( BW35 ) bell housing. Its not
100% finished but im interested as there maybe some advantages over the CRS conversion. This conversion also requires a modified torque converter but overall
sounds good.
3. The last option it to simply .. ( simply haha haha ) weld up my own modified bell housing.
Maybe I will leave that one alone although I have got a Th700 v6 housing and am getting a V8 th700 bellhousing complete with crack from Wholesale
Automatic Transmissions they are located in Vic i must add the reason i want a cracked one is because i asked for a %$#% one so i could butcher it :)
I mean convert it.
I managed to get a CRS Adapter plate for sale second hand through Mopar Market I also managed to get the TH700
aswell so now I got almost everything for the conversion..
I need a torque convertor and a modified shortened tailshaft.. Once I done all this I will post the dimensions.
If you done it already please email me The corssmember needs to be made up and also some shifter limkages.
I got some other things to do so this may sit for 6 months its Feb 2004 now.. as I got other things that need donw on the car atleast i got the parts already..
A a pic of the adapder plate will follow shortly.. here is a link to Hemi Performances site they have a pic there.
