One wire lock-up, 4 spd automatic w overdrive into A-body.
Potentially a thread I'm very interested in seeing. I feel like this might end up as one of those never updated never happened quite like it was supposed to threads though. JBC426 I'm looking forward to seeing the progress.
This is my summer project. I'll post as much specific info as it becomes available. Before I pull out the existing engine and transmission, I need to build a fresh stroker motor. Just today, I found a block for my 408 Magnum build. It was on ebag. But, was only $300 delivered, and all the way from Colorado no less. I hope it checks out ok. I have all the rest of the parts to assemble the motor, and I'm hoping to have it together in a few weeks.
It should be here Monday. Today, I received my throttle pressure cable, the locking dipstick tube, and the adjusting lever for my throttle body.
The bell housing is a Reid unit (BH060 = small block Mopar and Modern Hemi) for a 2-peice Powerglide transmission. They are available direct from Reid or through Jegs. They are available for small blocks, big blocks, Modern Hemis and a host of other manufactures engines. The reason it bolts up to the 200R4 is because the owner operator of Extreme Automatics, Lonny; CNC's the adapter and cuts the as-cast bellhousing off the 200R4's. It's a clean set-up, and allows you to avoid the Wilcap adapter, which used to be the only way to do this trans swap. I think it makes the job a lot easier.
The existing posts regarding the install of the 200R4, all used the Wilcap adapter and already show the cross member mod, the rear transmission mount fabrication and related technical issues such as using a speedometer cable extension attached to your existing speedo cable. I will be using an after-market floor mounted shifter.
The parts are on the way in gentleman, but the spawning Bass are calling to me this weekend, and I get to go with my old man....once again. If I don't catch and release 140 fish this three day weekend, I will admit it here.
Until then,,,,,more to follow.
