...to the trans selector lever. As you can see the new lever needs to hung the floor board so that it doesn't end up hitting the trans housing (2004R is fatter). In the last pic you can see the short brace I made to support the rod end which will help keep the torque shaft from flexing when...

Here are the pics of the converter with crank adapter and flex plate. The crank adapter is machined to accept the 2004R converter pilot, it fits snug. In the pics you can see the spacers between the flex plate and the converter bosses. When I assemble these three parts off the engine I can...

Yup, swapping to this transmission completely changes the feel of the car. I knew that switching from a 904 would be different (even though the low gearset ratios are almost identical), but it's a totally new car. I love my 2004r, it was definitely worth it.

More great info Treblig, and thanks for taking the time to draw out your ideas. I appreciate it. It looks like my exhaust hangs low enough to be out of the way enough to add an additional crossover for the motor mount. I'm wondering if it would be structurally worth while to have it bolt on at...

...some time. I had already drilled three holes in the new torque shaft lever because I wasn't sure exactly how much "throw" I needed to make the 2004R catch all the gears properly. I used the original Chevy trans selector lever and welded a heavy piece of metal (properly shaped) to the original...

...strong tranny, so I don't know how those shops can say that. They are in many, many GM's and quite a few Mopars. I found this GM article: 2004R GM Automatic Transmissions Contrary to popular belief, the GM 200-4R can be one tough transmission. In its stock form, it stood up to the...

...when I ran the old 904. When I installed the converter I used red Loctite on the bolts and checked it often for the first couple thousand miles, but they never loosened. They were still tight when I pulled the trans to do the 2004r swap. I'd still keep an eye on it, but that was my experience.

I thought people did 700r4's because they are more common and in stock form they hold more power than the 200r4(excluding the GN versions). So it's "better" if you're building a chevy on a strict budget.

...so well known. Manual valve bodys eliminate the need for the cable. I have a 700r4 manual in my monte ss that works very good. I removed the 2004r to take advantage of the 308 first gear ratio. 305's have no torque so it really helped me. We all know there is a proper way to abuse a...

Another consideration you should think about is the weight of your car. The TH2004R was considered a lightweight unit, and was never really considered a HD unit. Yes, any transmisson can be made HD, all it takes in MONEY. From what I've seen the TH700R4 is proving popular with a lot of the...

If you're just looking for "a number" for the 2004r swap, here is a reasonable breakdown of what it will cost. This is going from my own personal experience with what I did to get a 2004r in my car. Trans - I did a ton of research before buying my trans, and this is who I wound up going with...

...this car in a couple of years so that's really important...so thanks again. If I can figure out how to thank you on FABO I'll do it!!! My 2004R list so far includes: Boost valve GN servo Shift kit????? Teflon coated pump bushing Superior super servo (not sure which one this is)??? Furnace...

...but make sure it's up to the added torque you're adding putting it behind a 360. the other alternative I've been looking into is to run a 2004R gm overdrive trans with an adapter plate. the biggest issue running a v-8 in these is distributor clearance in the heater box area. you can either...

From looking at the photos (nice job by the way), it looks like it's all going to fit, and you're right, the converter slots must engage the pump gear tangs. I don't know how good the photos are, but don't use that converter. The hub looks like it's worn excessively and needs to be replaced...

I build a lot of customer's muscle cars with the 700R4. I did not know there was a 2004R conversion for the LA. Who sells the adaptor plate? Is the crossmember just modified? I definately like the idea. The 200 is a great and strong tranny.

...take the dive and do something different. Got an empty trans case to make sure I was for sure going with it and an adapter plate to mount the 2004R(yes, I know it's a GM transmission, that is okay) to the 5.7 hemi. As of yesterday everything is bolted up together on 2x4's and I just need to...

You lucky dog....I couldn't find a GN 2004R after two years of looking when I was trying to get a tranny for overhaul!!! Had to settle for a regular one, but with the help of that great transmission shop, they upgraded it and it works beautifully!!! To answer your question...YES, it would...

...purchased a new set of 4:10 Richmond gears for the Barracuda. BUT.....it ran so smooth and quiet on the highway with my current gears and the 2004R that I'm seriously considering going with 3:90s. Oh well, I'll decide in the next few weeks as I enjoy my new Barracuda. I'm running 295s on the...

...resources to go this route AND I can measure my set up from bell to tail and tell everyone how much cutting if any you'll have to do. The 2004R housing can not be cut in the area that I recently mentioned on my last post so the cross member on the driver's side will be the biggest obstacle as...

...high enough to align properly. In my case the other problem was the dual exhaust pipes. On the passenger's side the pipe passed so close to the 2004R that it actually kept it from moving far enough to the right. I couldn't move the pipe (has a cross over pipe) and my exhaust was made all in...

...a a500 with no floor cutting.You still have to remove the cross brace and brace it with a plate. After watching Mopar to ya install the 2004r and the adapter to install the transmission to the block,i would look at the final price of the install. In both directions you go you will have to...

Don't think the 2004r is any easier then the a500 swap.I had to do the same cross member mods,but i didn't have to use an adapter to bolt it up. I would say the a500 swap is easier and cheaper at this point,from what i have seen. It doesn't matter to me that he installs a gm transmission in...

...plate had been just 1/8" thicker I would have had to cut on the passenger's side. As it was I had to remove (cut off) an unneeded ear from the 2004R to clear the cross member on the passenger's side for it to clear. Also in the pics you can see the header gasket ( between the down pipe...

...paddle shifted with an engine braking valvebody, A500/A518 auto OD's, Tremec swaps from every conversion shop on the planet, lastly was the GM 2004r. So, of all of these options I've looked at(for years), which one do you believe I should put in my car? I feel like people aren't actually...

Wilcap and tci sell the adaptor (though you have to trim the tci adaptor to fit) and you jus have to mod the bolt in cross member.

I've only heard of that piece breaking once before. I like the kit a lot but agree they shoulda made that piece out of something more substantial.

The 4l80-e was based on a turbo 400, 4l60-e replaced the turbo 350, 2004r replaced the metric 200. All gm's way of making gas mileage. I have built all the od's for street and all out racing with great results. Art carr has the best name in the industry for the 2004r but is very expensive...

Nice! I've been following your build thread closely since I'm very interested in going with a 2004R behind my 360. Very interested to see what kind of RPM drop you get in OD. When I first talked to Art about this several years ago I told him I wanted a reverse pattern manual shift and he...
