    Hey guys ...

    I have a 56 Roadmaster where the Dynaflow decided to "bite the dust" :ball: , drops 1-2 qts per 5 mile trip. My driveway is getting slick.

    Anyway, I'm considering an upgrade to a 700R4. Have had lots of good recommendations about using Bendtsen's adapter kit, they also offer a rebuilt 700R4 rather than just finding a "junk yard dog".

    Anyway, I understand that if I upgrade to a 700R4 that I also need to replace the rearend (of course the driveshaft as well). Anyway, if anyone has performed this upgrade on a 322 Nailhead I would much appreciate any words of wisdom regarding a suitable rearend. I'm also open to other ideas/vendor recommendations.

    Thanks
    BJ

    Look at some the websites / shops that specialize in building 700-R4 & 200-4R transmissions. There are several on the net and across the country and many have good tech info online and will be able to answer your questions.
