Will GM 200r4 work with factory floor shift location?
Well I thought they would never finish refinishing the floors in my house but now that it's done I can get back to the project. Attached you will see some pics of the TCI adapter now that I have cut it down to a more manageable size. Also pics of the TCI adapter on the 200R4. The TCI adapter must be made out of hardened aluminum because it was tough to cut. Also the fact that it is a large flat ring didn't help either as I had to brace the portions of the ring that were not in the vice to keep it from vibrating violently. I still need to smooth and straighten some edges to make it look really nice.
I also measured and wrote on the adapter the dimensions of the different sides so that other members have something to shoot for when/if they attempt this modification. The only place (on the adapter) I need to watch out for is the area where the passenger's exhaust down pipe passes the trans/engine mount face area. I'm using a 360 Mag Truck manifold and it exits close to the area where there is very little clearance. Not a big deal but I don't want to install the engine and tranny only to find that I have an interference problem. Will show pics later on this.
Next I will fit the Mopar starter and cut the 200R4 trans housing for clearance. I will also be fabricating a bracket to mount the Mopar accelerator cable and 200R4 TV cable to the intake manifold and carb. It's a lot easier to do on the bench than in the car.
