AgentZ Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Hey there, I love being on this side of the world. I found a good LS1 and T56 combo, wiring loom and computer included all for the grand total of $12,000 NZ dollar (and no that aint a typo!). I reckon it would be cheaper to buy it in the States and import it over! Being Broke sucks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 You can find that now for about $3,500 US. That's probably about half (?) whay they're going for there? You could definitely import for the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corzette Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Question...will LS1 bolt directly to a 700R4? Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentZ Posted October 20, 2005 Author Share Posted October 20, 2005 Not sure but does this mean it does? 700-R4 - The 700-R4 is now called the 4L60, and computer controlled 700-R4s are now called 4L60-E (the "E" stands for electronic). The 700R-4 can and has been used for RX-7 conversions, but expect to do some minor modifications to the trans. tunnel. The 700R-4 is quite a bit heavier than the 2004-R and has more parasitic losses. An engine computer is not required for proper operation of the pre-'92 transmissions, but minor re-wiring is required for operation of the lock-up converter. The 4L60-E REQUIRES the proper ECM/engine combination to function correctly. Output shaft spline is the same as the T-350 and 200-4R, but the overall length is longer. The 700-R4 from a 60 degree V-6 will NOT fit a 90 degree V-6 or any V-8, as the bellhousing bolt pattern is different. The Corvette 700-R4 does not have provision for a conventional transmission mount.
