I have a 200 R in my 65 Skylark convertible with the high compression 300 and love it ! I'm wondering will it build up to 65 401 or would I need adaptor ? If anyone has done please let me know . Thanks and have a Happy Turkey Day .....
you need the adaptor Edit, after looking at the pictures of benstiens adaptor that cobravii put up It looks like it will be very tight on a a- body skylark. I can measusre mine later with the eelco. As for the 2004r or the 700r4, I can tell you I love the 2004r I put in. To see what it does behind a nail head look for one of my old threads..kinda slow in da nailhead section... I was still working the adjustments out of the tv cable and was not getting full throttle in the video. Also if you are interested look for ...I couldn't drive to yardleys, so...It has a few adaptor pictures. It was not hard to put together and I even replaced my 4-speed with it till I someday try and restore the car
Bendtsens Adapter, $675: http://transmissionadapters.com/Nailhead_install.htm Another option is the new replacement bellhousing for the GM 4L60 and 4L65 transmissions from Russ Martin for $575. It's not on his webpage yet, but here's his site: http://nailheadbuick.com/transadaptors A little info on the 4L60/65 trans: http://www.novak-adapt.com/knowledge/4l60e.htm It's going to require a control box that'll cost $600+ for an aftermarket one. Will also need a throttle position sensor for the carb. This would be a cool setup with a paddle shifter!
THANKS FOR HEADS UP GUYS . I HAVE THE 400 IN IT SO MAYBE A GEAR VENDER UNIT WOULD BE BETTER OPTION . IT GOES DOWN ROAD WELL ENOUGH MAYBE I'LL SPEND MONEY AND PUT 455 IN SKYLARK INSTEAD :Brow:
