I'm starting my motor pull next weekend. Hopefully by mid January I'll be putting the new one in. Would like to swap the trans while the motor is out. Could wait to late January or early February but by March 1st I need the car to be up and running and out of the garage. I am ready to drop about $1500 if necessary for a good built 700r4 and I don't need a converter with it. Was hoping to pay more like $1000 or $1200 but for the right unit $$$???


$1000-$1200 is very doable for what you are looking for.
Let me make a list and see what my opinional parts prices are.


Thanks Pete! A few things you might (or might not) need to know as you make the list:

1. I already have a new governor set up where I want it to shift. Would like to have the part throttle shift points higher but I could never manage to do that through the governor. Anyway, don't worry about a governor, I can put mine back in after the rebuild and I still have the rest of the B+M recal kit and a dremel so I can tweak it if necessary.

2. I have a B+M shift improver kit that I installed myself in my stock valvebody and it seems to work good. Not sure if you were figuring on me re-using my stock valvebody or what when you make the parts list, but I wanted to let you know that my stock valvebody has already been modified. Maybe I won't need a shift kit since I already have this, or mabye I do. I don't know.

3. Already have a tranny cooler installed and working, and you already know I would like to re-use my converter. I already have a new SFI flexplate on the new motor and ARP flexplate and converter bolts.

4. I don't want a manual valvebody or a reverse pattern valvebody or anything like that. I just want normal stock operation with raised part throttle shifts, firm shifts, and WOT shifts at about 6300 rpms (which I can do with the governor).
