700r4 shifter on 2004r?

[L67ss]

The 350 will be a mild one with 10:1 compression, "rv" cam, and q jet. I'm basically getting the 2004r for free and its currently in a running/driving caprice wagon so I can test it. And the olds won't hit pavement very often. Mebbe an occasional grudge race on a back highway(my brother has informed me I'll be racing him and his iroc lol). Only other trans option atm is a 5-speed from a 4.3 s10 which is tempting and will def go with the fun vibe but would jack up build cost which at this point I can't afford. Almost everything ive been getting recently has been in trade. Usually a labor trade

Also on big blocks.....my first car was a 75 caddy with a 500 ci v8.....between that an the fact the first street race I ever saw was a t top g body cutlass with a blown big block beating a 69 chevelle also with a blown big block I am a big block junkie 🙂

It's not how you get to what you want as long as you get there !!
BB's are great l got 3 , 468, 496 an a 502, l'm not a SB guy, well other than my Elcamino an truck but there more just nice drivers or atleast that's the plan the Elcamino is going in ! It's easier to get HP out of a BB than a SB but SB's are cheaper to build an find parts for.
I thought about putting a 8-71 on the Oldsmobile an it's still a thought as l love that sound, an the power doesn't hurt! Lol

502 is what I really want but I've yet to find one in a junkyard lol

 

[bob64]

Don't think you'll find a 502 in the junkyard, lol ! I've had mine for years without dropping it in something, l think my Chevelle is getting it but not 100% sure of it yet, haven't started putting it together.
Well sounds like you got some of the parts you need, just got to throw it together.
5 speed in the S-10 should work good, cant see it costing that much to set it up as long as you use the linkage out if the S-10 should just need petals and maybe a driveshaft. But ya got it an that's a start.

Drive shaft is what'd get me. He has an astro but he's not ready to part it out so I'd have to have the driveshaft made

 

[L67ss]

And I've found some crazy stuff in the junkyard lol

If the driveshaft needs to be shorten that's cheap, lengthened that ain't .

Ya it's funny what some people throw away. And it pisses me off the stuff that gets crush, oh well.

Find out the length you need, if l remember right l have a aluminum driveshaft off a S-10 that l got the 4l60e out of, it's yours you want it, u pay shipping ! It's out of 96 reg cab long box.

I had looked into s10 driveshafts.....they were all either too short or too long. With my rear suspension lift a Chevy astro shaft is perfect (70"). I just gotta wait till my boss decides to just part out the astro. I do have a spare g body shaft I could have shortened should I go with the s10 5-speed

I would go with the 5 speed then it's over an done an it's what you want in the end anyways. Any G-body clutch petal should work and maybe others.
I would check the facts first, l can't remember but l think S-10 has a hydraulic throwout for the clutch.
