Yeah, for the little bit I’ve seen, I’d say that Ford would be on a similar level, just smaller package. At least there's no carpet in the Ford.
@Mike_H are you a glutton for punishment?

America’s beloved gearhead says he’ll be crawling the junkyard again soon!
It grew into the 4L - 60 which isn't the worst trans. A 700R4 can be built into a Okay street Overdrive trans. but it 's not T - 400 tough.
If you just have to have a juice box trans , a 4L - 80 E is strong , but large and needs a controller.

Not quite. The ford would be a crazy big project. If I were to pull a car out of the woods, it would be that Willy’s wagon I found a couple years ago. At least that one speaks to my passions.

Good to know - when it comes to autoboxes, there's the Th400, and then there's everything else.
Just an FYI... The TH400 does have a 4 speed non-computer controlled competitor. The 4L60, "that'll withstand up to 700 horsepower..."

OP
Checked on that very thing yesterday, and saw some good reports. Had no idea that he need a tracheotomy (that, according to the report I read). Sound like he was in some seriously bad shape. Glad to hear he's doing better.
I didn't either. From what I’ve pieced together, it seems that he was in a coma for a while. Scary stuff. He's a talker, I'm sure he'll share the story when he can.
I haven't heard off a non-electronic controlled 4L series transmission. Looking around, I keep finding sites claiming 700R and 4L60 (no E) are the same transmission. Do you know anything different?
Did you check out the link in my post. It looks as though it's something they put together and sell.
I also found this for the 700R4

CS1 Standard Design
lntroduced in 1972 as a 2-speed the Standard Design LENCO is our largest and strongest transmission. Most often seen in supercharged alcohol and mega HP nitrous cars the CS1 Standard Design LENCO is also commonly used by Pro Mod machines and blown nitro and alcohol drag boats.
The CS1 Standard Design LENCO is recommended for the most severe applications and is capable of repeatable consistency with a minimum of maintenance. Engineered to handle 3500+ HP the Standard Design LENCO is available with up to 5 speeds and comes in a cast magnesium case. Lever or CO2 shift.
I did. They don't offer a trans with that specific code, which is what sent me looking to see what's out there. I keep finding sites claiming the 700R4 was recoded by GM as the 4L60, then they added the electronic control. I'm interested because I'm looking to swap out a powerglide, but don't want to jump into electronic controls, which limits me to a 200R4 or 700R4 as far as I know.
That's what they did. When they introduced the computer controlled version (4L60E) they rebranded the 700R4 as the 4L60.
So my earlier post is a little misleading... you can convert the 700R4 (4L60 non-E) to work with any non computer controlled vehicle.
