[Syty] 700r4 trans

Tue Jul 10 10:04:10 CDT 2007

Don't forget that your Ty trans has an AWD transfer case 
bolted to it.  The camaro 700r4 won't bolt right up unless 
the camaro is/was 4x4. :)

  This may be more work than it's worth.

   With a little bit of homework and a decent local 
builder, you can have your typhoon tranny well built for 
under a thousand dollars.
