Re: Re: 5.3L Vortec V8 Conversion
Because if your talking about a 241/231 hybrid case you still have to fix the reluctor ring for the ECM. I'm personally going with the AA adapter because of the simplicity.
No sir. I'm talking about a 231c/231j hybrid case.
If I were staying with the aw4 Trans, I'd take the c case innards and throw them in the j case front half (keeping the input shaft from the j, as I understand the 232j input varies between 21 and 23 teeth dependent upon year. The c case is 27 teeth, IIRC. Thus gaining the c variant 1.25" chain and gears vs the j variant 1" set.
That said, I've not actually tried it, but I'm pretty sure that folks have already done this. Smarter folk than me will surely correct where I'm wrong, and I'll learn something.
Just seems like some of the AA stuff is overpriced, and made for the people that don't stop and think things through. Or are lazy.
Lest you think I'm just a keyboard wrencher, my DD is a SFA-swapped S10 with a smallblock V8 in it, and I've been party to other such mutts. I don't know everything, but I am no dummy either. At least I'm smart enough to know where I'm dumb.
My personal build sheet for my 90XJ is shaping up to be an early 90s TBI 350, 700r4, 231c, using a 1227747 ecu and either an S10 or C1500 ecu harness. I am not afraid of electrical work as I'm kinda into that sort of thing and have been since I was 9.
EDIT: OK this is what happens when I come back to a convo the next week and forget what I was saying.. You're referring to a 4l60e trans/transfer adapter. I don't have anything to offer there as I haven't dealt with that Trans. Can't imagine it would be hard to find one with transfer out of an s-truck, pretty sure they were in them. Might be wrong.
But when it comes to the 700r4/231j adapter... Can't imagine it is to hard to mix a 231 c and j and get what you need without expensive custom parts or interfaces needed.
