Vortec 4.3 & 747

[Mendell, Richard]

Do you mean a 700R4? The 727 is a Mopar tranny and would require an adapter
(available from Advance Adapters, if that's really what you need).

If you have the 700R4, it's a pretty clean swap. The basic hook up is
identical and a donor vehicle should provide all the necessary parts.
Remember, even the HO 4.3 Vortec is still TBI, as I recall that most of the
'86 installations were as well, and the 700R4 soldiered on with even the HO
4.3 until '93 or '94. If you are dropping in the HO motor though, the tranny
will need upgrading to the late 700R4 standards, as the early ones (like
'86) were a bit weak. Kits are available to do this.

Cheers,
Richard P. Mendell
