Re: Whos done the th400/700r4 conversion? (Your self or Friend)

For everything you need (starter, precision adapter plate, bushing thing that goes between the 700r4 and the motor) it may well be worth it to get the $1000 pre-made kit. I don't know about you, but i value my time, and even if i had the machining experience and machines to do it, it would still take forever to fab something as nice and accurate as they already have.

Maybe they'll sell you just the plate? that's the hard to get right piece. Unless that's the flange you're talking about? Maybe they'll sell you just the center piece. Chevy starters, flywheels (unless it's special) etc etc come cheap elsewhere.
