Re: 700R4 behind a 288/327/356

I have a Bendtsen adapter to put a GM 700R4 transmission on my 356 engine. I have not driven it yet but the adapter is a work of art. I've converted to 12 V since I want an Air Conditioner and an XM radio.

I've fabricated an engine rear mount as the 700R4 only has a rear mount and I think the aluminum transmission case might be a bit over-stressed at its front flange.

You can run your original starter on 12 volts but you might want to have it 'converted' to 12 v to ensure its life.
