I'm Awesome
Information:
Long tail-shaft TH-350
1991 Chevy 350 Step Side
Truck had a 700r4
Basically, I pulled the 700r4 out, and just got the TH-350 pushed up into there, everything mounts up good to the motor as expected, except for two things. The torque converter I'm putting in is a stock one that I got from O'reilly's. On the torque converter I had which was a stock 700r4, the bolts just screwed into the torque converter, but this one doesn't have threads so it appears that you have to put a nut on the other end. Does this require a special type/grade of bolt, if so is there a kit I can get for it? This may be a simple issue but I've never messed with cars older than 1991 before, so I've never run into it.
The second issue is that even though the transmissions were about the same length, the TH-350 transmission mount is actually about an inch shorter than than the 700r4 transmission mount was, so it won't go through the cross-member. Is there an adapter or different type of mount i can get to fix this? Or maybe even a different type of cross-member? Or will I have to modify the cross-member I have?
Thanks guys! It's good to be back.
Side Note: Anyone know of a write up on this subject? I've looked around, but couldn't find a good one that helped me.
