Wait a minute....Wait a minute!!! I thought the whole purpose of going with the 2004R was so that you wouldn't have to cut up the floor???? From what I've seen and read here on FABO, all the Mopar overdrive transmissions require cutting the floor. I personally went with the GM overdrive...

Bob, you're not totally off topic, I'm the one that mentioned the 2004R. Members always want to know what you're running to give a good answer so I had to stick that in there. I wouldn't say that the 2004R was a pain at all. I don't want to say it was easy but it wasn't hard. The most...

I have a 2004R overdrive in my '69 Barracuda...top speed at 6000 RPM is 180 MPH so, 11 hours one way really isn't that bad but I surely couldn't afford the speeding tickets!!!!LOL treblig

...the gas mileage is great!! My car is much more fun and more enjoyable to drive. I'd do it again in a New York Minute!! Somebody already posted a link to the "write up" I did when I was making all the modifications and for the installation. Also good tips on the 2004R mods/upgrades!! treblig

Here's a few brcakets that I had collected (see pics). In my case I installed a 2004R overdrive in my '69 Barracuda (318, 4 Barrel Eddy). I just mocked it up to be able to use the factory Mopar throttle cable and also hold the 2004R TV cable. It didn't take very long but it depends on your...

I think I still have the original transmission lines off my 69 Barracuda (904/318) from when I swapped out for a 2004R. But you seem to be saying that you want to plug the radiator trans line fittings?? If you plug the radiator fittings how will you cool your trans?? treblig

I put a 2004R in my Barracuda and it made a big difference. I'm running 3.90 gears and the best part of all is that the noise level at 65/70 MPH has greatly decreased. Actually I can't hear the exhaust at all. 2300 RPM on the highway should let the motor last a lot longer as well. Oh...

Any help I can offer...just ask. PS - I think the 700R4 is longer making it more difficult to get the trans mount to work. I have one of each (2004R and 700R4) in my garage and can check on the mount location. They are probably close since they are inter changable. Treblig

Every time I use a 2004R or a 700R4 in one of my cars I install a non-lock up TC. I also use all the "good" parts like hardened drums, etc. If you use a non-lock converter you don't need any switches and wires to lock and unlock the converter. I cars shifts into OD at around 45 MPH and stay...

...it would be a heck of a lot easier. Still, lots of cutting and welding. But for a 6 speed it's worthwhile. This is US Cartool's 2004r mount. This one doesn't require tunnel mods, but you can see how extensive the modifications are to the crossmember. The T56 would require something...

That's why I put a 2004R into my barracuda before I build the 390 stroker. This way I get much better gas mileage right off the bat with 3.73 gears!! I should be cruising at about 2200/2300 RPM. treblig

2004R all the way!!! My cruising RPM dropped dramatically. It's not that simple as that but it worked for me. Treblig

...clear the cross member, that's a lot. I'm sure other folks will make better suggestions... If you look here you can clearly see how much has to be removed from the cross member to clear the transmission (2004R) http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=252436&highlight=treblig Treblig

Just look up Mopar To Ya's thread about the install of the 200R4 in his dart. His dart has a 408 (or 416) with a Dana 60 out back (gear ratio I can't remember) and he loves the transmission. The only time I think it would be detrimental to install one is if you have a perfectly good/just...

$1300....WOW!! It's almost cheaper to do what I did, 2004r overdrive automatic. 3:90 gears. I can cruise down the highway at 2300 RPM doing 65/70 MPH with 29 inch tires (29 X 15 X 15). I spent about $1800 including the trans overhaul and TCI adapter. Did all the install and fabrication...

Forgot pics of the non locking 1600-1800 stall torque 2004R converter. Treblig

...$400-$575 was reasonable for what I'm looking at engine-wise. I do have some pretty wide tires and a new posi (3.73 gears) plus the super low 2004R first gear...so the engine will see some load when I launch it, but I probably will never completely floor it from a dead standstill. When the...

...the car is still on the rack. I also plan to take an exact measurement of the location (centerline) of the upper cross member relative to the 2004R housing and the 2004R mount. If I can tell everyone exactly where the center of the cross member crosses the 2004R housing it will make it a...

...started any of this and I was very surprised to see that is plenty of room for the shifter stick to pull back far enough to get into 1st gear on the 2004R. As you can see there's about 1/2" of travel left in the console slot. As it turns out everything should work out great!! :burnout...

Just some updates; 1. The new crossmember and transmission mount, to install the 2004r in the Mopar A-Body, is now in production, link to the details: http://store.uscartool.com/67-75-A-Body-GM2004R-Cross-Member-Kit_p_107.html Thanks for everyone who commented, suggested and in general...

...angle". Please don't beat me up, I've installed many engines and transmissions in many cars/hot rods etc. I recently installed a 2004R GM transmission in my '69 Barracuda. All I cared about was the engine/trans angle (when the frame is level). NOT the distance from the tunnel to...

...I'll be OK on the hardened seat issue. I'm building a 318 stroker (390 CI), no high RPM/revving. It will be a torque monster, since I have a 2004R overdrive already installed I won't need high RPMs to putt around the streets or on the highway. I do plan to port the heads so that the 390...

...all the time I invested into stopping my build to take pictures and write the explanations for what I did. Hope you got a good deal on the 2004R?? Those transmissions fall out the sky where I live...LOL!! If you do a little research you can really save on some of the HD performance...

It's going in the 68 Barracuda convertible in my sig. Thanks for the links.

...is a space frame design and the other is a perimeter frame design. Both are just CAD drawings / engineering concepts at the moment. So: The 2004r cross-member is production ready by the end of this week. The T-56 A Body version is at least a month away (after we receive the T-56 kit which...

...at some point? A-body version? I would think that you would be able to sell more than a few of them given a price point similar to the 2004r crossmember. Obviously the T56 mount requires more work on the part of the installer because of the tunnel modification needed, but perhaps a tunnel...

I just spoke to Chris at US Car Tool. The mount on my car was fabricated specifically for my particular situation (Alterktion and 2004R with Reid bellhousing). As such, it has no downward adjustability, but it has roughly 1/4" to 3/8" of vertical adjustability. It's important to note that...

...ahem... :burnout:

That looks pretty nice especially after I spend about 40 hours making one for my '69 Barracuda. From your pics I guess you must completely remove the center portion of the upper cross member making it necessary to remove the torsion bars, etc. For someone who plans to get their car down to...

Yes, I can get some close ups later today. If I forget just remind me this evening because I'm right in the middle of installing a 2004R overdrive in my Barracuda. Thanks, Treblig
