Default Looking for a 700r4 need tips

My camaro is at like 3000 rpms at 60mph so im thinking a O/D tranny might make a good addition.
Is there a certain one i should be looking for? From a certain vehicle etc?

Is there alot to this conversion?

Post 85 and pre 93 is what you'll want to find. As for the swap itself, pretty sure you'll need a new crossmember and possibly a shortened driveshaft.

I just did a swap on my 67. Went from a 4 speed to 700r4. The best thing i have done in a long time. With 4:11 rear end my RPM at 60 was 3000. Now at 65 MPH the rpm Is at 2200. You will need a crossmember, shortened drive shaft, kickdown cable and bracket, and have a tranny shop wire the tranny.

Or you could use the 200r and not need to shorten the drive shaft. Little better spacing in the gear ratio also.
