    Putting a 7R004 transmission into my 70 Camaro RS/SS 383 500 HP. Looking for a list of parts that will be required to install where the 4 speed is now, unfortunately my knee does not bend or I definitely would keep the 4 speed! If anyone has any information on this I would truly appreciate it and also any tips. Than you!

    When I did this a while back
    I got the
    Trans (later one because I had read that the early ones had issues so mine was from an 89 iroc)
    The cross member I think bow tie overdrives
    The drive shaft had to be modified and balanced
    I ordered a shift plate from shiftworks
    I didn’t need to mod the tunnel it fit and that’s pretty much what I remember if I’m missing something I’m sure someone will chime in

    but I only drove the car once for about a mile then took everything out for an ls swap

    Your going to have to deal with mounting the TV cable. Parts needed is dependent on what Carb setup you are running.

    Put a MVB in it. Have to shift, but in my experience it lets them live longer

    There are several way so doing it, I'm using a TCI valve body that only allows clutch lockup in 4th gear. Also using a TCI vacuum control setup.
    You'll need transmission cooler lines, ones that were on my TH-350 worked fine. Also check if your radiator is cooler equiped.

    You may want to back up and regroup on this project. I know a lot of guys would like to go manual, need transmission, shifter, clutch & brake pedals, along with the other assorted parts. You might could work out a trade deal.

    Thanks I am keeping the original manual transmission and all parts for some day way down the road when I want to sell the Camaro. Just was hoping someone on the forum had installed a 700R4 and might have info on the parts needed to complete.
