Thread: 400 into a 700r4

Tweet

well, the tranny in my 91 caprice just took a dump on me. not a surprise. it took a lot of abuse and am surprised at how long it lasted. but now that i have a pickup, i dont rely on the caprice for daily transportation anymore, so it is on project status.


anyways... i was wondering if i could plug a 400 into my caprice replacing the 700r4. i have considered finding a 700 in a junkyard caprice or camaro, but i have asked people smarter than me and the only response i got was that the 700's are junk. i got nearly 200,000 miles out of mine with no maintenance so im asking here.

should i find another 700 r4 to put in the car, or, get a 400? how hard would it be to put a 400 into my 91 caprice? what about computer hookups, etc.

my dad has had his 400 in his halfton pickup rebuilt 3 times within a 6 year period. id swear it was made of glass, so i feel like im getting mixed info.

im a vw guy so im not sure about interchangability between parts on american cars, so any help/input/criticism is greatly appreciated
