I have a 94 cpi 4.3l with a 4l60e tranny in my blazer, well the motor blew and tranny is close to it. I found a carbed 4.3l out of a fullsize for cheap so i got it. Only 8k miles.
Since im going carbed i cant use my 4l60e, ill need a 700r4. I cant figure out what vehicles specifically had that tranny. I dont wanna buy a tranny and it be the wrong one. I can get a tranny from a EFI if i buy a kick down cable correct? As long as its not 93+? i did alot of research but noone has hit my dilemma specifically. And for the guages i guess ill have to buy ALL new ones. i kept all my wire harness for light windows and all that intact so hopefully i can use it. Any help is appreciated
Astro vans had the 700R4 as did late 80's early 90's camaro and firebirds.
1984 - 1993 Camaro's & Firebird's
1984 - 1993 Corvette
& 1990 - 1992 Impala & Caprice
all had the 700R4
91ish down fullsize had that tranny to.
you can buy a stand alone computer to run the 4l60
you can run any tranny that will bolt to the motor.....
700r4's came in el camino's from 85ish and up, camaro and firebirds mid 85ish to 92, corvettes same yr run, s10 trucks with 4.3's, any year up to 93, same with 4.3 blazers, 5.7L and 4.3L fullsize chevy trucks from 87 to mid 93 (after that they went 4l60e's)
i think i'm leaving something out.

He will HAVE to get a standalone as these tranny's shift using solnoids t hat open when the computer tells it to.

isnt that stand alone unit rather pricey though? i looked into that too, but i think it was in the $850 to $1000 range...
Even with 700r4 you still gotta make it lock up somehow,just voltage I think.
