This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

Need 200R tranny REAL BAD!!!

Discussion in 'Parts wanted' started by Greg Setter, Apr 22, 2005.

    Okay, folks...

    I need a 200R for my '72 clone with a 350. I have a 3:42 rear and it's killing me not to be able to run up to speed on the highway. And, with premium running $2.40 or so a gal around here, I could use all the help I can get.

    Prefer newer rebuild. No special build-up or stall needed, I just want to mate it up to my 350 and go. I had a 700R behind a 455 in the same car a few years back and loved it. If anyone is within 250 or so from Wichita, KS, or somewhere between here and Cincinnati, I can come get it.

    In a perfect world, I'd have it in and ready to drive the car to BG next month. Help!

    GStage1 Always looking for parts!

    I find it hard to believe you can not find a G-body in your area with a 200R.
    There has to be some yards in your area with some. Maybe you should consider buy a whole car???? Have you checked the bargain trader?

    I find the best 2004R transmisions that i have found are in full size wagons ( Olds or Buick )that have 307 Olds engines in them, look for a wagon that has very little wear and it should be a good one. I also use the Olds TV cable braket because it bolts to the back of the carb ( which I also take ) as well, it has the correct gemoetry for the cable if used with the same carb. On my Buicks I run a 1" spacer ( Mr Gasket makes it ) under the carb so the lower portion of the linkage will clear the intake I do not know if this is a problem with other 350 Buicks but all my intakes the carb is to low for TV cable clearance. I have used 4 of these exact transmisions now ( even in my 81 RX7 350 SBC swap ) and they have worked very well for a daily driver. I have not put one behind any of my 455's yet but I will as soon as i can afford a "Built one ". One other note on the transmisions I have described, the lock up has only one wire from the trans and a vacume switch on the engine it is a slick way to keep the lock up with NO hassel at all. as all the cars I take the trans from are carberated anyway no computer stuff to deal with!!
