Will a 700 r4 bolt on to 350 small block?

Yes, a 700R4 automatic transmission can be bolted onto a 350 small-block Chevrolet engine. The 700R4 transmission is a popular choice for use with small-block Chevy engines due to its compact size, overdrive capability, and relatively strong design.

To install a 700R4 transmission onto a 350 small-block Chevy engine, you will need the following components:

* 700R4 transmission

* Transmission adapter plate (if necessary)

* Flexplate

* Torque converter

* Transmission mount

* Transmission crossmember

* Driveshaft (may need to be shortened or lengthened)

* Transmission fluid

Once you have gathered the necessary components, you can begin the installation process. Here are the general steps involved:

1. Remove the old transmission from the engine.

2. Install the transmission adapter plate (if necessary).

3. Install the flexplate.

4. Install the torque converter.

5. Install the transmission mount.

6. Install the transmission crossmember.

7. Install the driveshaft.

8. Fill the transmission with fluid.

It is important to note that some modifications may be necessary in order to install the 700R4 transmission onto a 350 small-block Chevy engine. For example, you may need to modify the transmission tunnel to fit the transmission, and you may need to shorten or lengthen the driveshaft. It is also important to ensure that the transmission adapter plate (if necessary) and flexplate are compatible with your specific engine and transmission combination.

If you are not comfortable performing this installation yourself, it is recommended to have it done by a qualified mechanic.
