So as I posted before, My transmission completely messed up.
I found a turbo 350 tranny with 20k miles, comes with a B&M 3000 stall torque converter and Trans-go shift kit for $250...
It was in a 70 Nova, originally in a '78 nova.
Will this fix my '74 camaro LT without any mods needed?

 

You already have a T350. So yep, it will be an easy out with the old and in with the new change. That's one heck of a good deal for that package. If the guy has receipts for when he got the trans done, so much the better. Hopefully he's not fibbing about the mileage, and the specs on what it has.

 

He replied with "Hello, I honestly couldn't tell you if it is the original miles or not. I'm sure it has been rebuilt before, but i wouldn't want to give you false info."
I'm probably just going to buy it and take my chances.
Also, I found a 80's chevy 350, seller was told it has 30k after rebuild, however hes never seen it run.. he wants 200 for it.. should I take a chance with the engine as well? not sure if its a long or short block... I've got a short block right now, how would things change if it were a long block?

This is going to be my first major project on my car.. Replacing the transmission, torque converter, and possibly the engine.

 

so i just looked this up, no difference in size between long and short blocks?
just a long just comes with heads already installed?

 

I'm not laffing..........honest!!!
Short or long block doesn't refer to the length. A long block means it's a complete engine. A short block is the engine minus heads, intake, carb, and oil pan. Neither one would include the front accessories.
Is your current engine bad? An engine that has 30k miles on the rebuild should show it. It shouldn't look like a lump of grunge, and will most likely have some tell-tale signs of RTV ooze on gasket joints.

 

honest mistake on the long/short block thing haha im learning!
as for the engine, im not really interested in it anymore. My current engine is running fine, just a little rich... nothing a screw driver cant fix

im picking up the transmission tomorrow afternoon! any suggestions or advice before i replace my transmission in my garage? haha.. I'll have to figure a way to jack her up high, maybe put her on bricks haha damn..

what will I need to do this replacement? what gaskets, tranny fluid... i'm trying to think of what i'll have to buy before i start

 

these are the pictures i received concerning the engine,



and these are pictures of the transmission i'm buying..

 

just sold the car today guys..
someone came through with an offer i couldnt say no to..
thanks for all the help!

 

Wow, that was a big turn in a different direction!

 

yesss i know im bummed.. guess im just too young to be able to afford an old muscle car right now.. work part time, full time college student.. eh
