why is the 350 chevy transmission better than the 700r4?
355705
the 350 and 700r4 are the same transmission. \nonly difference is an OD unit was added.\n\nit gets it bad rap because its downshifts arent controlled by a vacuum modulator anymore, but buy the detent cable attached to the carb/throttle body. and without that cable being adjusted correctly, the trans doesnt last long.\nboth capable of handling the same power ratings.\n\nthe 700r4 can be built to be stronger then the 350.\ncheck out\nwww.bowtieoverdrives.com

what year chevy  it may not be much considering its only a 4.3 liter.  are you running heads and cam   what size cam?  Ported heads?   what type bolt on?  and what kind of car is it.  Are you looking at high or low end torque?   You may want to get a dyno pull

the answer is... yes.  no changes to the transmission, in fact the torque convertors are the same for both engines, and there should be no issues with the bolt holes matching up on any part of the trasnmission.  best wishes with this project, sounds fun.

it's just like the 700 but 2 inches shorter. looks like a great gun. i owned a few 700's and loved them.

throw = the distance the gear lever moves inbetween gears, the short shifter reduces the gear change times slightly by reducing the distance you need to move the gear lever.\n\nWill improve acceleration, but all depends on how quickly the driver can press and release the clutch as well as changing gear

A standard 22-250 is pretty fast as is.  I would just go with the fastest factory load you can find.

i would rather have a 1956 chevy belair 2 door post with  a 283 (best engine chevy ever made) never liked 57 and i had a 68 camaro rs/ss sharp little car but didn't like it, the 64,65,66 impalas were nice i had a 64 ss and also 65 ss but not with a 396. the 396 was one of the worst eng didn't like the rattle in them 348 was ok and i liked the 409. 327 was great and also the 350 was ok 1963 impala was also a very nice car 1967 chevelle i had was one of the best cars i ever owned my favorite car was 1973 pont venture

you won't notice a difference with 5 hp gain, you want top end or bottom end speed, i suggest changing rear end gears for big torque gains, can make a little 4.6 boil those tires but not mess with factory engine components that are set for optimal engine life. e-mail me for  furhter help, jsconyers6401@charter.net

it depends on how good the engine is...generally the higher ps will consume more...but you cant use it as a rule of thumb

Partial answer.\nMy 1.8T Jetta gets fantasic fuel milage (32 mpg highway summer dirving) and is still rated at around 180 hp.  The triptronic transmission in it is the automatic with an additional position for a sequential shift.  You bump the shifter from 1st through 5th as you accel / decel.  It has an override and will shift for you at redline if you forget.  Same way with downshifting.  once you hit less than 500 revs it will downshift for you in the triptronic mode.  Its not even close the the performance you get with a stick.

Too many variables to give a complete answer. It depends on how steep the hill is, how fast you are going, how much you car weighs, how much torque your engine develops, etc\n\nThe short answer is: If your engine is lugging down, switch to a lower gear. If your car has an automatic transmission, it should select the appropriate gear automatically.

I did that to my Camaro and put a 5.7 383 in there. After we emptied out the engine bay we diced out the entire ECM and electrical harness. Then hooked up the MSD system and it runs like a champ. BUT the draw back was my tach was fucked. It was run by the module. So i have to get an aftermarket tach. But other than that go for it. You can get alot more power from a carb than an efi not to mention maintenance is that much easier. So expect to remove the ECM, ignition, and replace the intake manifold, and pretty much trash all your sensors since they'll be useless.

i would say the STI is faster...if you look at the launching of the STI, it is made for racing..it is made to be pushed..the beamers started off as looks..and if it wasn't for the BMW M3, they would not be faster..an EVO and a BMW have comparisons, but the STI is way better...let me know if u need more help

GM had a performance catalog with some parts for this engine but not much. The best thing is to swop it out for a 4.3 but the bellhousing patterns are diffrent.

they are mostly 350 ci not no 305 ci the 350ci is bigger and better

i got 22's on my expedition and it runs so much better then the 18's that were on there before.\ni guess it also depends on the vehicle too.

this is basically a chevy 350 stroked to a 383. they are a very good reliable strong engine. excelent for truck applications. they will work QUITE well in a camaro.Lots of off the line power!!
