OP, as a sidebar, given that trans is original and has 60k I'd take a look at the stator support (splines) first chance you get.

Sold and heading to a good home in a nice, warm climate with no road salt.

I would stay away from CAT.

SOLD!! Thank you!

Thanks trixdout and Frank!

Has built in wastegate valve and bolts directly to the turbo. Excellent condition, used only for brief testing. The first $450 takes it (plus actual shipping). Secure and careful packing is on me. Langhorne, PA. 19047

The radio is a Pioneer DEH...xxx built as a drop in replacement for the oversize Delco OEM unit. I think it came from Crutchfield and they of course supplied the plug adaptors to avoid cutting of any wires. It is an older unit and I must think is no longer available given the speed and...

Sorry, Langhorne, PA. 19047 I'll dig out the TH downpipe and get some pics.

I agree. The 700 is inferior. Also, you will miss the WOT upshift to OD as the 700 doesn't have it like the 200-4R does (I've shut down a few close opponents thanks to that feature). Lots of drawbacks to the 700, the list could go on and on.

Yes.

That's a characteristic of the trans. GM put a "garage package" in the 89 TTA's to help deal with this but IMHO its a non-issue as I'd rather it go into gear with "authority" than slide into gear fwiw.
