Product Description
The FTI Performance FTK7R4-2E 700R4 Level 2 Automatic Transmission Package is a complete high-performance drivetrain solution designed for classic Chevrolet vehicles, street rods, modified street cars, restoration projects, and compatible GM automotive applications producing up to 450 horsepower.
This comprehensive transmission package combines a professionally built Level 2 GM 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission with an FTI SB2400LT30 torque converter, Edelbrock carburetor TV cable adapter, adjustable TV cable, long transmission filler tube, dipstick, and a case of high-performance automatic transmission fluid.
Unlike transmission-only assemblies, the FTK7R4-2E package includes major supporting components intended to simplify component selection for compatible automotive projects.
The Level 2 transmission features upgraded internal components engineered for increased durability in suitable street-performance applications. Its performance-oriented construction includes a reinforced input shaft, heavy-duty clutch packs, upgraded band, dual-cage BorgWarner sprag, Corvette servo, and performance-calibrated automatic valve body.
With a 450HP advertised rating, this package is suitable for appropriately configured engines and drivetrains operating within the manufacturer’s specifications.
The four-speed automatic transmission incorporates a 0.70:1 fourth-gear overdrive ratio, providing highway cruising capability for vehicles originally equipped with compatible GM automatic transmission configurations.
The included FTI SB2400LT30 torque converter features an advertised 2400 RPM flash stall rating, making it a practical choice for compatible street-oriented performance engine combinations.
Another important advantage of the FTK7R4-2E is its dedicated Edelbrock carburetor compatibility. The included TV cable correction adapter is designed for appropriate Edelbrock carburetor installations, distinguishing this package from the Holley-compatible FTK7R4-2H configuration.
The transmission features a Chevrolet bellhousing bolt pattern, an OEM-type aluminum case, automatic valve body, and traditional forward shift pattern.
For classic Chevrolet restoration projects and professionally planned drivetrain upgrades, the FTI Performance FTK7R4-2E Complete 700R4 Transmission Kit provides a convenient combination of upgraded transmission components, torque converter performance, and included installation accessories.
