The tranny is out.

[korndogg]

Well the powerglide is now out. Now all i have to do is shorten the drive shaft put in the floor shifter, buy the torque converter put in the tranny cooler, run the lines, move the crossmember, and buy a tv cable. oh by the way. where should i put the tranny cooler...on the front or the back of the radiator?

[DaMoNe6969]

is that all?? lol

I usually see them either infront or beside the tranny.. Havent seen a tranny cooler behind yet

[korndogg]

yeah i was thinking infront but i wasnt sure...oh and yeah..thats all i gotta do! lol

[DaMoNe6969]

your practically finished! lol

Yeah infront is the way to go
Ive got an intercooler, trannycooler, and oil cooler infront of my rad and Ive never had a problem

[korndogg]

so you put it right in the middle or do you put it off to the side?

[DaMoNe6969]

whereevers most convienient for you to mount it I guess

[korndogg]

yeah....alrighty...thanks for the help...wish me luck with the everything else i have to do lol. oh and when me and my friend were taking it out he dropped my old tranny lol. anyone want a powerglide? anyone know how much its worth?

[DaMoNe6969]

What are you puttin in there?? Those powerglides kick ass for racing.. But sorry, dont need one.. and No I couldnt tell ya what you could get for it! I dropped my 700R4 pullin it out too..lol On my arm! Thats what you get for pullin a tranny out in your driveway..

But for what its worth, Good luck with your project! let us know how it turns out

i'd mount her right in the middle of the radiator and in front of it. radiators have hot spots towards the sides.

[korndogg]

yeah i was thinkin right in the middle..and damone im puttin in a 1988 700r4 with a B&M shift kit. see...im not going to be doing alot of drag. dont get me wrong ill take it to the track but its main purpose is street, thats why im going with the 700r4.

[DaMoNe6969]

700-R4's are excellant trannys if you build em' up a bit.. And even decent stock!
You should throw a billet servo, or even a corvette servo in there too to tighten up that 1-2 shift..

[korndogg]

good idea

[4onFloor]

i swapped out my TH350 for a 700R4 a few weeks ago and i love it. the 700 has a such better first gear ratio. my th350 had a 9 inch tailshaft housing so i didnt have to do any cutting on the drive shaft, she just bolted right in
just wish i could find the speedo thing that bolts in the tailshaft housing so could have my speedo back. i've been guessing my speed when i go down the road and i think it's gonna get me pulled over one of these days

[korndogg]

you kno i was wondering where my speedo is...do you know where it is?
