200 4R Install Questions.

I too ordered the Hughes pan so it would use the 700-R4 pickup which feeds from the bottom, thus eliminating any cavitation/air sucking issues on hard launches. I was concerned about the depth of the pan and how low it will hang, but I'm more concerned about the pickup getting air in it and burning up the trans.

To the OP, I just ordered the converter for my 200 build from FTI. It was between them and Circle D for me. Circle D hadn't built a custom converter like this before so they quoted $1100 to build it. FTI had done this before (similar anyhow) and it cost me $830 to have them build this one. Will be a 4500 stall with manual single disk lock-up. Justin was the guy I worked with.

Clint, I don't think you need to worry about pan height really, yeah mine hangs lower, but it's truly almost the exact height of the headers, so if you're at a height that clears cruising now, you'll be fine with the new pan.
