MPFI Vortec to 700R4
- Thread starter mtnman
- Start date
Probably not likely to find something, TV cable was long gone by the time of the Vortec 350's as I recall.
Yup you are correct - but, there's just gotta be some way to do this swap!!!

lol manual valve body just a thought
Any chance the linkage at the TB is swappable, for something like that used on the TBI or TPI TB?

Haven't figured that one out yet but am considering flipping the throttle body "the correct way" to get the linkage on the drivers side
Been looking @ that site, the problem is that the "Vortec came as TBI and MPFI and Bowtie OD doesn't say which one this is for
Only Vortec TBI I was aware of was in something like panel vans (real rare) and apparently earlier than '96 4.3 liters.

Is This on an OBD2 2000 truck??
If so unless the ECM is reflashed to ignore the transmission.
You are going to get a bunch of transmission trouble codes. How those codes will affect engine performance I do not know. On electronically controlled trannys there is a bunch of input from the transmission the ecm needs to properly manage the engine.
You will also need something to control torque convertor lock up for the 700R4

Engine out of 2000 truck, ECM reflashed by Street & Performance, lockup kit also from Street & Performance
Didn't know that - Thanks!!!

Looks like you are good to go. Call or email Bowtie OD they may have, or be able to make a custom cable for you.
