So I've decided to put a 700R4 in a 74 Stepside. There's no trans in it right now. The engine given to me with the truck is a 305. I've read the posts here regarding the 700R4 swap, as well as a bunch of other info on the same thing. Thanks to all those that posted info on this.
I just read an ebay ad and a guy asked if the 700R4 for sale had the mechanism to shift or if it was electronic or vacuum. I don't remember which he asked, but the seller repsonded and said it did NOT have the mechanism to shift (like a conventional trans,,,ie 350/400). Is this a 4L60E trans? It seems some folks use 700R4 and 4L60E synonymously, and I don't want to buy the wrong trans. Externally do they look the same? And I just need to look for the lever that the shift rod attaches to? And is the shift mech. on the driver's side of a 700R4 or the pass. side?
Thanks for the tremendous info you guys have made avialable.
