    t400 to t700r4 swap

    You would have to change the case to get all the updates on an '83 transmission. Run the #'s off of the tranny to see what year it was, maybe he had a different core used already... you will still need to buy another core for the output shaft though. And the 2wd and 4x4 cases were slightly...

    The '83 700R4 should be avoided as a starting point, you would end up needing another core anyway for all the parts your missing.

    What are you putting it in, an M1009 or M1008? For an M1009 a stock transmission can be ok, but they are not known for being reliable. There are a lot of upgrade parts available that will help them last. You will also want to change out the axle gearing as 3.07 gears will not work for the OD...
