Need info to install 700r4 in 69 Camaro

I'm planning on installing a 700r4 tranny in my 69 Camaro. It has a 350 turbo trans now. What will need changed? Will this trans crossmember work? I have an aftermarket shifter that will work with the 4 speed already so i'm good there. Thanks for any info!!! Frank garbaczs@hotmail.com

the cross member will need to be modified and the driveshaft will need to be cut down and balanced.
Are you using a luckup converter?

Yeah i want to use lockup too. Whats the easiest way just run a manual lockup toggle switch? Or does someone sell something for this? How will the crossmember need to be modified?

the mount is back a little bit. They make a kit so you can hook up the lock-up the right way...I know they have it in summit

I make most trans mounts out of roll bar....you may be able to just cut the mounting tab off the stock one and reweld it, Thats a simple fix either way

Frank, Do you remember working with someone at Deltrans that used to call you "mushroom head"? Give me a call, and I'll help you with the lock-up deal.
