700s have several different bells.

1) S10 type for small V6s and 4 cylinders
2) Chevy type for larger V6s and V8s with plastic/tin dust cover
3) Chevy type for larger V6s and V8s with aluminum dust cover

 

The difference is the 60° or 90° bell housing bolt pattern, the 90° V6 trannies are a little different than V8 trannies inside, (less clutches), but that can be changed during the rebuild process if desired.

 

Yes, as described in above posts^^^.
60*deg = 2.8,3.1,3.4,3.8 V6
90*deg = 4.3 V6 same as SBC/BBC.

 

also try to find one that is 87-93 they are a bit stronger. they have a K on the bell housing.i believe on the passenger side.

 

87 to 03 is actually a 4L60, prior versions were the 700R4. They are commonly all lumped together as 700R4s though. Earlier versions had a 27 spline input and a 7 vane pump, 4L60s had a 30 spline input and a 10 vane pump.

 

to keep things simple 4l60-700r4 87-93= same tranny just better than the earlier trannys :thumbup:

 

And to think all most every one said hotrodders used 350's cause they were cheap and every thing was interchangeable not like the 302 FORD I am using .three different bell housings oh don't all you chevy boys jump on me now cause i'm just pulling your chain a little :thumbup: yea the last three rods I built had 350's one with a 350 tranny the orthers 700r4 . The bell housings were on the things when I got them so I did learn some thing today.
