Mervo, I'd say you need to get out more, like the rest of us. We arent talking 50K. We may break 1K if we don't have squat to start with. The 200r4 is an easy swap using many existing parts. Sure, it does depend on how the guy plans to use the car and how much. Sure, a Th350 or 400 will be a stronger transmission. I'll also agree the investment will take some time to offset, but he did say he was going to have to come up with something anyway. I can attest however that not only do I get more smiles per gallon, but I am not taxing the engine like I was, driving 4,000 RPM all the way between here and Tulsa just to keep up with traffic. Lets find out what the folks ARE going to do with it before we pass judgement. BTW the 350 does use the same slip yoke as the 200r4. TH400 is different. The 400 cross member fits with the right trans mount and a wee bit of a spacer. I don't forsee any electrical upgrades, but the kickdown cable may be tricky. As far as I know, they do have differences between 200r4's, but are primarily strength and torque values. My feelings are they can be built stronger than ever. They are NOT a racing transmission.
