Thread: Powerglide to 700R4 '67 Impala

Tweet

If by "either converter" you mean, will the 'glide converter work on the 700r4, nope. You must use the converter and ring gear for the 700. The OD trans is bulkier than the 'glide, too, and different length. The rear mount is farther back, and the driveshaft will be too long.

You will need to shorten the drive shaft . Run a t v cable for shifts , and run a wire for the lock up converter. You can get a KIt on ebay for $15 it works you don'y need to spend more. !984 700s have issues. the accumulator pistons,roller clutch and sprag were all updated by 1987 the pump is a 7 vane and the input shaft is smaller diameter.Change all this and you have the start of a good trans. The tail shaft housing on 700s sometimes come with a boss for a trans mount if you find one Your cross member can be moved back to the holes already in your frame drilled at the factory for 400 trans. It really is very easy conversion with a little research.
