Help on 84/85 Tranny
I need to find out if a 700R4 from an 85 will be a direct bolt-in in place of the 4+3 in an 84. I assume that it would be dimensionally the same, but are there other retrofit concerns?
Do any of you have experience with this?

Just get the package: flywheel, trans, tunnel housing, shifter and linkage, consol top, brake pedal, drive shaft, lock-up vacuum switch and wiring, cooling lines,and C-beam from a wreaked or parted C4 (pretty cheap, not much call for them, as most cars are autos).

Most of the stuff zr1fred mentions does have to be dealt with, with the exception of, tunnel housing (?), drive shaft, C-beam, and cooling lines. You could replace the cooler lines with the auto trans lines, but I'll bet it would be easier to just modify yours.
RACE ON!!!
