Highway RPM with the 200R4. Gotta love it!

Nice job! Can I pick your brain on the 200 install, especially the shifter? I have a 67 barracuda with the console shifter. I'm sure I lose 1 to 2 manual capabilities,but I'd like to keep my shifter. Also since I have frame connectors wouldn't it be easier to fab a crossmember mount for the transmissions? Just ideas, haven't started yet.

You will really like the 200R4 once you have it all together. I went with 3:90 gears but I should have gone with 4:10s. If you look here:
Will GM 200r4 work with factory floor shift location?

you will find everything I did to make the 200R4 work with the factory shifter. The biggest issue will be the 'trimming of the original upper cross member" which isn't that big a deal. I can manually shift through each gear if I choose to. I also modified the shifter detents to allow me to shift down into 1st gear, so I actually have first, second, third and overdrive. If you have any questions just ask. It was a bit tricky but it works really GREAT!! Hope you have a little patience and some imagination.
