Have a buddy of mine wanting to do the 700r but hes stuck here's his question
Got a nice complete 07 5.3 and would like to be able to use it in one of my rigs. Problem is the drive by wire with no way to run a tv cable for the 700R4....
I was even thinking of running a T400 behind the 5.3...
Any suggestions or tips where I can find out more??
ditch the GBW and put a regular TB on it. then use a 98 flexplate to let the 700r4 converter work
2002 Lightning - GT headed 5.5Litre w/ Twin 7665s
2002 Silverado - 427Lsx w/ Twin gt4202s
2010 Silverado crewcab Z71 - 5.3litre w/ procharger
2000 Wrangler - 5.3litre with some stance

it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference
look at the lokar site.
59 chevy apache>old school rod with 5.3.
92 chevy swb>full frame, bagged, 98 interior swap.
02 chevy swb>LT interior swap.
01 tahoe> lowered on big wheels, family ride.
97 ford diesel>big turbo,injectors,oil pump,etc.
85 stang coupe> black on black, H/C/I.
Lokar does not make the bracket. I got mine from S&P. It is a small l bracket you tack weld to the throttle body cam and hook the Lokar 700 kickdown too.
TV cable is Kickdown, just a little reminder.
The Lokar cable will hook to the tv loop, run the cable, cut it to length and open the throttle to WOT and remove the slack from the cable. This will adjust pressure adequetly.
If you want, you can simply make an L-bracket to tack weld onto your tb cam by yourself. I paid 37.00 for mine and felt ripped off but it worked perfectly. I'll try and get some pics.
P.S, does he know he needs the 6.0 crank spacer??

Sell the 700 and upgrade to a 4l60E?

put a vacuum modulator valve on it instead of the TV cable. its under 100bux to convert it.
Hi all,
i have the same problem,do you have a part number or dealer for this vacuum modulator conversion?
Thanks in advance
this is definitely the way to go...wasnt sure if they made one for the 700r but since they do its well worth $100..if the tv cable isnt just right the trans will go out Quick!Originally Posted by Justin_Inc
