TRANSMISSION TRANSPLANT Posted By: BadBowShow87 On: 03-14-2010 @ 23:44:09 Reply | Edit I have placed this question in the 3rd gen section and still waiting for an answer there...so I figured that I would try here. I have a 1987 Z-28 with the T.P.I set-up. I want to drop in a turbo 350 tranny. Will the T.V.(kick down) cable from the T350 work with the T.P.I or not? Which vehicle or which manufacture can I get one that works? THANKS FOR THE INFO! HAPPY HOT-RODDIN!

And god was like bring it bitch, so they fought and the LS1 beat god and now the LS1 is god because its the greatest thing ever" what I once thought was, is now no more.

The stock kickdown cable is probley going to be to short to reach the butterfly of the throttle body (it was a stretch to get the cable to work on my dual plane intake on my 55). you might have to go with a electronic kickdown from Lokar. Posted By: BadBowShow87 On: 04-13-2005 @ 00:21:08 Reply | Top | Edit I've see Lokar's products and its $75 bucks for the kick down cable. I might just say screw it and op for the manual valve body, or just make an extension for the cable itself. I got $1200 bucks wrapped up into this tranny, its been built to handle 600 horse. Besides, TH400's are too damn big. Thanks for the info. I was beginning to wonder if my question would fall onto deaf ears. -- 1987 Z-28 w/350 bored .040 over, 292 64cc heads ported & polished with 2.05 intakes and 1.60 exhaust valves, Holley 58mm Throttlebody, Turbo 350 trans w/kevlar clutches, 3.73 Eaton Posi. 60ft in 1.75 and 12's in the quarter.

If you go the manual valve body rode i would recomend a Hughes product I have 1 of those n my race car and its awesome. Posted By: cheddar On: 04-13-2005 @ 23:34:03 Reply | Top | Edit A 400 is not that phisically large. I just put mine in my 94 and had no clearance issues at all. In fact, it fits just about as well as the 4L60E did. I also used a standard dipstick tube, and I heard plenty of people say that it wouldn't be possible. I realise that you have a 3rd gen, but I gotta believe that it would fit just as well in a 3rd gen as it does in my 4th gen. Just my .02 cents. --
