can I use a 700r4 on a 6.0 motor with a carb?

 

Sure, but there are better options....

 

what are my options and costs? I'm looking to run 11.50's on motor (no cage) in a 95 or so 1/2 ton 2wd short box on a dragradial.I've ran small blocks and big blocks 454&502 but now I want to try a 6.0 on carb since I'm old school and alot better tuning a carb than I am with a computer.

 

Are you going to run a carb on the 6.0?

 

yes that is my plan

 

Yes you can just make sure your tv cable is properly adjusted as this will ruin a trans fast. Theres a new valve body that removes the problem but it is a touch expensive but worth it.

 

can you run the newer trans without electronics if you go to a manual valve body.just trying to feel my way through this,I've ran a 700r4 with mods for 3yrs with no trouble but I'm open to suggestions.

 

i think there is a controller for the 4L60-80's that places a throttle pos. sensor on the carb and you set the shift points. if this is going to be somethin that you dont really care for overdrive id run a TH400. i think all that it requires is a crank spacer and flexplate and d/s yoke. a buddy of mine did a TH400 swap in his WS6 and didnt have to get a new d/s but it could be diff on trucks.

 

You can go full manual with the 4l60e and even have vaccume pressure control so it isnt always beating you to death

 

do you know what something like that would cost?I'm assuming thats what you do.Thanks
