In good condition. In Vic would be great.

Geeees Trev what you upto?....

Time for an upgrade for the ek, an extra gear for the trip to Sawtell .

sounds interesting but i would go for a later model than vn go a vs vr instead better motor cheers mark

I think he is only swapping his transmission, and is staying with his red motor.

Keen to follow this one - could be a good option behind my turbo 202 (if I ever manage to put it in )

Now don't go getting sidetracked again Trev.....

Rite on Andrew .

This is no side track, always wanted to do this , still want the other as-well .

just about done with this conversion just need to hook up the kickdown cable and accelerator cable and drop the dizzy in and fire it up.This has been put into my fc wagon.Eh auto column converted to cable linkage.Should be sweat
regards fatboy

trev v sar v our convos drunkin and sober not realy for the parts wanted section,,,but you a mod
so you can move it,,,will help some one,,found this last week on the web

If you are going to be using a TH-700-R4 automatic overdrive transmission in conjunction with your TPI fuel injection system installation, we strongly recommend that the torque converter lockup function be retained since the transmissions cooling capability is adversely affected when the vehicle is operated for long periods in overdrive, without the TCC engaged. In addition, operating the vehicle in overdrive with the TCC engaged, lowers engine rpm and improves gas mileage
You must use a kick-down cable from a TPI / 700-R4 vehicle. The bottom end of this cable is the same as a TH200-4R cable so it will fit either transmission.

The majority of 700s that were originally used behind TPI engines have three wires coming from the 4-pin electrical connector on the left side of the transmission. If your trans has less, more, or different colour codes than the ones listed here, it will be necessary for you to obtain a GM service manual for the year/model transmission you are working with to properly identify the components and wiring hook-up for your unit. Due to the large number of variations from year-to-year and model-to-model of the stock 700 wiring hook-ups, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you obtain a GM manual and identify the type you are working with!

The following wiring colour code information assumes that you have obtained the appropriate wiring connector that plugs into the TH-700-R4 automatic transmission from the same TPI equipped vehicle from which you obtained the fuel injection wiring harness.

The purple wire (terminal A) is the +12 volt supply to the system. The blue, or in some applications dark green, wire (terminal B) is connected to the fourth gear (overdrive) switch in the valve body. This normally closed switch opens whenever the transmission shifts into fourth gear; this informs the ECM that the transmission is operating in the overdrive mode. The tan wire with a black tracer stripe (terminal D) is the ground wire for the TCC solenoid. In the original factory installation this wire is connected to the ECM and when all preprogrammed requirements for TCC operation are met, the ECM grounds this connection to complete the circuit and activate the TCC solenoid in the transmissions valve body which then hydraulically actuates the clutch in the torque converter. terminal C remains unused in this four connector plug. For our rewiring purposes only the purple wire (terminal A) will be used to provide a +12 volt supply to the TCC solenoid. The ground side of the circuit is provided by the method described below
There are a number of ways to rewire a 700 to obtain the TCC function when the transmission is used in an application without an ECM, or when ECM control of the TCC operation is not deemed desirable. The following is one method that has been tried and tested on many hot rods:

After removing the transmission pan, disconnect, remove and discard the wire which runs from the fourth gear switch to the 4-pin connector in the transmission case.
Remove the fourth gear switch (normally closed) and replace it with GM #8627332 or Standard Ignition Part #PS-131 (normally open). In order to gain access to the fourth gear switch to remove it with a socket-wrench, it will be necessary to remove the 1-2 Accumulator housing which is attached to the transmission case with 3 metric bolts with a 10MM hex-head.
Be careful not to damage the gasket!
Remove the TCC solenoid ground wire (Black) from the 4-pin wiring connector and connect it to the new switch . If your transmission has a 4-3 downshift switch in the +12V supply wire (Tan) side of the circuit, as most do, retain it.
The fourth gear switch (single terminal) is the one on the far right (facing forward) of the rear of the valve body and the 4-3 downshift switch (two terminal) is the unit directly inboard of the fourth gear switch. Rewired in this manner, the TCC will operate only in fourth gear (OD) and will stay locked up whenever overdrive is engaged. Some 700s other than the Corvette, Firebird, or Camaro units use a fourth gear switch or a third gear switch which is normally open and can be used as is. If yours has a normally open third gear switch, it can be moved to the fourth gear port and the third gear port plugged with a 1/8" pipe plug.

Great info thanks Mez.

I meant with things that suck....

Oh yeh I forgot about that . Long term (no hurry )
