One wire lock-up, 4 spd automatic w overdrive into A-body.

I finished up stich welding as best as I could, leaving only the area Treblig indicates will need to be modified to fit the rear of the 200R4. I used a small ball peen hammer to close up the gap along the transmission tunnel portion of the crossmember. I left the part where the stock shifter rod passes through the floor alone for now.

This afternoon, I'll slide the engine/trans/K-member combo under the car and see where and how much it's hitting.

In the meanwhile, I have to put some more shakedown/break-in miles on my '70 'Cuda. It only has a few hundred miles on the new clutch, rear gears and Passon five speed. It's a tough job, but I have to do it. Me an a buddy are going up to Alice's restaurant above Woodside, CA. It's a big draw for both hotrods, but mostly bikes of all brands.

Coming along nicely!! Still waiting for the cutting. From the dimensions you gave for your transmission/adapter length you should have to cut about the same amount as I did. Within an 1/8" or so. If it was me I would cut out a good chunk based on my pics that way you decrease the number of times you'll have to put your eng/tranny in place. At least that's what I did (based on" Mopartoya's" pics). And I still had to cut more!!! But that's just me though....everyone likes to do things there own way and I'm no exception!!!
I absolutely love driving my Barracuda with the 2004R especially with the modified governor and the 3.73 gears. No droning sounds on the highway and pretty nice off the line. Today I order my Mickey Thompson 90000000225 Sportsman S/R Radial Tires 29x15.00R15 for the Cuda.

I purchased some pretty nice 15 X 12 polished aluminum wheels now all I need is the tires. These new tires are about 1.25" taller per side so I may end up with 3.90 gears after all. But I'll have to drive it with the new tires and wheels to get a feel and see how much low end I lose.
PS - Enjoy the surgery Dr. jbc!!!!
