Easy question, easy answer. GotTransmissions.com has the transmission you are looking for if the unit you are contemplating is no good. Don’t forget, you can buy a remanufactured-upgraded T-700 built for your application from GotTransmissions.com.

All V-8 gasoline T-700′s have the same bolt pattern. All Chevy V-8 engines from 1955 up to 2004 have the same pattern. It was the only V-8 pattern General Motors, or Chevrolet used for 58 plus years. This applies to the gasoline engine line exclusively and most of the diesels. The V-6 G.M engines used a different T-700R4 pattern.

The only difference I can think of externally is the four wheel drive unit uses a transfer case bolted to the back of the tranny instead of a tail housing for a drive shaft yoke. Otherwise, the differences are not visible. Meaning that the truck T-700 transmission has more beef inside it and shifts more positive than a Camaro transmission. And a Hi-performance Camaro or a Corvette may have a more aggressive shifting transmission than a stock Camaro or Suburban transmission.

My plan would be to make sure the transmission soft parts and hard parts are in good shape first, than install A TransGo upgrade kit, before it goes in the car. The beauty here is that you can program the transmission to shift nice and smooth or very aggressive as in a Corvette. Or program it for commercial use. I would put an auxiliary transmission cooler and use synthetic ATF in it to protect my investment.

Good luck on your changeover. GotTransmissions.com Blog has more articles on T-700R4 swap overs in the upgrade category.
