Will GM 200r4 work with factory floor shift location?
The first time I put the Mopar bracket in place (previous post) it put everything too far back so after some cutting and drilling I got it positioned further forward. I measured my Barracuda's accelerator linkage and it's about 6 inches from the original bracket clamp to the carb lever so I moved everything (bend, massaged and repositioned) so that I ended up with 6 inches on the accelerator distance. I also had to move the 200R4 bracket forward. I had to cut some excess pieces of metal off the GM bracket because I'm not using a GM accelerator linkage or intake bolt holes. The pics show how much of the bracket is left if you compare the pics (before and after). I'll have to wait for my son to come home from work in the '46 Chevy so can measure the correct distance for the 200R4 linkage bracket. I still need to grind, smooth, sand blast, weld and paint before final install.
First pic is brackets before and second pic is brackets after some cutting and positioning. This way when I get the 200R4 in my Cuda I won't have nearly as much designing, fabrication, delay and welding and paint. Just hook up the TV cable, adjust and drive. My goal is put the tranny into the car with minimal fabrication during installation.:burnout:
I'll probably bolt the 200R4 to my dummy 318 and get the TV cable adjustment as close as possible before I even put it in the car!! Since I have the intake, heads, carb and TCI adapter it shouldn't be a big deal to get everything set in advance. Same goes for the starter.
