Can someone tell me what Chevrolets these came out in? Looking for a core and I am not sure what they were or are in.

Appears to have quite a bit of 200r4 info. http://members.aol.com/powerrslid/thm2004r.html Leo (roofcam34) [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Sioux City, Iowa   Posted by oilmanpat  -  02/05/2008 08:18 PM If these came out in Monte SS then would a person not be safe to use one out of a SS if they are not running big HP and only spin the tires every now and then? I'm putting a car together for a guy that wants to cut cost wherever he can. oilmanpat [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Warsaw, Illinois Charter Member since August 2007   Posted by Crazyhorse Rod Shop  -  02/05/2008 09:06 PM not likely you will find one with the right parts. most were behind v6's. one from an ss or grand national would work but they are hard to find. if he's building a low budget car best go with a 350. a 200 is around 1300 built. dont poke the porchdog........he bites [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] BLUFF DALE, Texas Charter Member since March 2003   Posted by 31tudor  -  02/06/2008 02:20 PM There were many installed in the full-size GM cars too (Caprice, Delta 88, etc.), even behind DIESELS so don't rule those cars out! Just make sure you update the shift body so it doesn't shift like a slug!

My core was from a 86 SS. I also added other heavy duty parts from Raptor Transmissions in LA. The most important thing when setting up a 200R4 is adjusting the TV cable. The is a lot of information on the internet. Try there also. dale [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Dekalb, Illinois   Posted by jimmothershead  -  02/08/2008 08:56 PM 700R4.....love 'em. Jim [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Huntingtown, Maryland   Posted by Starfire  -  02/08/2008 09:26 PM oilmanpat - you can bet that any "Core" tranny is not really serviceable and should be rebuilt before putting into any vehicle. No point in putting one in only to find it has problems. Rebuild kits are cheap compared to a car leaving one stranded. You need to convince your guy there is such a thing as false economy and trusting a "Core" tranny is one of those things. Starfire [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Weimar, Texas   Posted by tlp1968  -  02/09/2008 10:03 PM My opinion is that a tranny is one of those things you cannot fix on the side of the road so why chance it. I build my own engines but always leave the tranny building to a professional. You can save a bunch doing the install yourself and just buying a nice one. I sound like a broken record but many guys on the site keep telling us that Phoenix Transmission Products can fix you up and you won't have to worry again.

He wants to go with a 350. i told him I thought a 22 would get better gas mileage but he says he won't be going that much so it won't matter. Thanks for all the trouble guys.
