700r4 transmission & 350 ramjet engine installation
I am looking for information on how to properly connect my 700r4 to my 350 ramjet engine.
I have been researching and reading about the throttle cable, TV cable and am also finding info about a kick down cable! Does anybody have any good pictures of how the throttle and TV cables are hooked up to the ramjet 350 engine? Do I also need a kick down cable? I do have a throttle cable and bracket from Lokar and the transmission came with a TV cable already installed! I also ordered a kick down cable from Lokar but again am finding conflicting information on using it. I have PM'd Ogre for information as he has this same combination and am waiting to hear back from him. Any assistance would be appreciated and a good picture or two would be great. Thanks in advance. |

Re: 700r4 transmission & 350 ramjet engine installation
700r4 doesn't have a kickdown cable only TV cable. You need to make sure your Lokar throttle cable bracket is also TV cable bracket. Not sure of the part number right now but I think I had one on my 65 Nova. Maybe check Lokar website? I don't have any experience with the Ramjet engine, doesn't it come with brackets on the fuel injection for the cables?

Re: 700r4 transmission & 350 ramjet engine installation
Hey thanks for your responses.
I did just contact Lokar and they said that their "GM EFI Hi-Tech Kickdown Kit" that I have is listed to cover several transmissions, including the 700R4, does in fact function as a TV cable on my transmission. Problem solved. Except for the final adjustments needed to set it up properly. One step at a time... I should have asked them first off. I figured somehow that I needed both and could not see a way to hook both up. I should have everything I need all ready. |

I have already looked at them and will be printing them off to set things up. I was a little scared about removing the stock-looking black TV cable and replacing it with something else, now the cable I have, but it actually does not look too bad. Going back out real soon to install pedal, two cables and new bracket on engine. Then I will have to fine tune down the road. I just got confirmation from the body shop that its not a big deal that the truck will not be running when they get it back for the remainder of the body work. I was thinking that I could have it running but not all the bugs worked out. I was worried that they would accidentally screw something up even with their short starts. He said they would push it from booth to booth. So I might put fluids in engine and prime it and fill the transmission then wrap them in plastic to keep the dust out. I hate that sanding dust! It gets everywhere! I have a month to get it to them. |
