Will GM 200r4 work with factory floor shift location?
No pics today. Spent the day bolting up the torque converter. NOTE: If you try this swap be sure and get the extra long, GRADE 8 METRIC bolts that go into the converter. TCI required that you use some spacers between the flex plate and the converter making the stock bolt unusable...and don't forget the lock tight!!. Had to run to the screw and bolt store to get what I needed. Modified and installed the 2004R inspection pan. I had fabricated one months ago (see old posts) but since I had to cut off another portion of the 2004R housing,to clear my passenger exhaust, I had to redesign it a little so it would fit. Then I modified the 318 front cover (front of trans bell) so it would still function to keep rocks/junk from getting into the converter/flex plate area. I also trimmed off the lower portion of the TCI adapter plate because it was hanging down below the trans pan. I had left it a little long on the bottom not knowing if I would need material for some other purpose. Will have pics tomorrow of all I did today. Also dropped off the driveshaft at the driveshaft shop (52 3/36" measuring from C to C on the U-joints). Re-installed the passenger's side exhaust pipe and re-welded.
All that's left is to install the flex dip stick tube (should be delivered tomorrow), install the D/S (should be ready tomorrow), lower the car to the ground, make the Mopar accelerator/kick down bracket work with the 2004R TV cable, fill with trans fluid, re-torque the two top bolts on the tranny (can't reach them from underneath), connect the trans cooler to the hoses (top side) and go for a test ride!!!
OH Yeah>............CHECK FOR LEAKS!!!!!!
