Back when I was gonna put a 700r4 in my s10 I also had a 83 T/A with a 700r4 carbed. So what I was going to do was just take the trans and everything out of the trans am. The early 80s camaros that were still carbed i think 82-86? have 700rs and carbed. So just get the tv cable bracket off one of those.

I hope that 700r4 holds up with that 350 because there is two 700r4\'s the one like you have for the v6 which only has 4 clutches and the one for the v8\'s which have 6 clutches and are stronger. good luck.

well off to the scrap yard to find a tv cable and i am thinking since the trans is only has about 6000 miles on it it might work just till i can afford to get a new 700r4 rebuilt so i can handle the power cuz i am kinda liking the whole overdrive b/c i drive about 280 miles on the highway every other weekend plus this is a lil off topic but anyone around indiana or illinois ever go to liberty pull apart they are one of the best and cheapest u pull it yourself scrap yard thanks for the info

I\'m running a stock rebuilt 700R4 from a 86 firebird, works great and my motor makes about 380HP.
