I know this has been a controversial suject over the past couple of years on the yahoo group. I don't want to open a can of worms, however I see a couple of guys here with swaps well under way or that are already finished that include the 700r4 tranny behind their 4bt.
I want to start this thread to draw up a list of points on including the 700r4in a 4bt swap. It should include sharing of modifications and vendors that can help:
1. How did you address the mating of the Torque converter to the flexplate?
a. modify the mounting points on the torque converter
b. modify the ring on the flexplate?
2. How did you modify the 700r4 to handle the torque of a diesel?
3. Don't 700R4s need vacume to know when to do certian things?
4. How is it holding up to miles and what kinds of abuse are you feeding it?
EDIT:
Pictures, we like pictures of those mods.
