Bromley's Corvettes Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Doing a 700R4 swap into a nice clean 81 vette. Stock they have a TH350 so no over drive. The built 700R4 has a 70% over drive and a 2200 stall with lock up and nice low first gear a 3.06 so they are great for performance and MPG and over all fun to drive. More pix coming as the install goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest badbobs95 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Oh Doug, that's a piece-a-cake. I could do that in my sleep. Of course I would be dreaming since I couldn't even try it awake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bromley's Corvettes Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Wowza. That collector-bobulation is a new candidate for http://thereifixedit.failblog.org/ Good lookin' shark! She's in good hands now. Git 'er done Doug. When I saw the piece of garden hose I was like I mean that's the best you could come up with lol. Makes me look real hard at the rest of the car to see what else Billy Bob has done. The car is real clean nice paint and interior and wheels and under the hood looks clean. Front susp was missing a few cotter pins but no big deal the worst that could happen is something could fall off while driving lol. No shock to me I have worked on lots of cars over the years that looked great from the top and put it on the lift and its like its not the same car lol. Like the top does not match the bottom. At least in this case the car is in good shape just needs some love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LastC3 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Great looking C3 !! Like most of us, without lift access, the underside usually is not a big priority ..... But am certain with the work you're doing and what Alan sees under there ... things will change ..... not to ... but he gets hooked up with Corvette Performance, he can get some personal lift time to do some real detail work ...... #justanidea LINKY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bromley's Corvettes Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 700R4 is in. New flex plate and sealed up the rear main and new TQ converter and drive shaft. Also added a deep cast alum pan holds 2.5 extra qts and has a mag drain plug. Next need to mod the shifter and hook up T.V cable and brackets and s.s flex dip stick and wiring harness for lock up converter and presser gauge. Also going to replace the motor mounts they are all dried out. Getting there more pix coming soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
