...be easy. Of course a floor shifter is the way to go and this will require a hump on the side of the trans tunnel. And of course you will have to notch the drivers side cross member for the exhaust pipe. But the simple solution would be an automatic , 904 , 998 or a GM TH 2004R with a new...

Thought I was done with this thread but as it turns out, I have more information for those who might use the 2004R in an a-body. I've been driving my car for well over a month now and have come to the realization that the transmission is shifting into 2 gear (and third gear) a little earlier...

...car it poses a list of other problems that are unforeseen. The long studs, the larger flexplate/ring gear, the custom dual exhaust and the BOP 2004R...these are some of the problems that kept me from finishing the install today. First the long studs: I had already removed the distributor...

These are pics of the 2004R and the removal of the governor out of the spare transmission I purchased as a back up for the one I have in my '69 Barracuda. Also some pics of the 2004R pan, which is very distinct and once you see this pan you'll have no problem finding one for yourself. I also...

The 2004r is a good option for guys who want an overdrive without much surgery. Even though one can be built to easily handle that kind of power, the big problem is how to handle the transmission TV cable. I ran into this problem when researching a 6.1 hemi transplant in my car and it was one...

I had the same problem with the 340 manifold on the driver's side of my '69 Barracuda (318), P/S, 2004R transmission with TCI adapter). I ordered some super tight radius J-bends (see pics) and cut the J-bends up and pieced it together. It took a lot of time but it wasn't too hard. It would have...

727, 2800 stall converter 3.73 gears the two mileage killers. you could switch it to manual shift. you could switch to 2004R and all that rigamarole to get a lock up converter you could swap the rear to a 3.23 if it was my money i'd do a passon 5 speed (has overdrive), keep the 3.72 rear...

Thanks for the help, but due to the oil inside your converter i cant identify if its the stator or not. Anyway, if was the stator, is much smaller than mine, and i believe that in this size they would match and lock in the reaction shaft. I think if i assembly inthis way, they will spin over the...

One more very important question. I know that the 318 is internally balanced. Does anyone know if the GM 2004R torque converter is neutrally balanced. I'm a Chevy guy and I've built many Chevy engines so the question has never crossed my mind. Mopars have that internal/external balance...

I just measured the through hole on a standard GM (2004R, 700R4, etc) trans fitting, you know, the big one that goes directly into the transmission housing. It measured out to .230". I think this would be the maximum I would go on any part of the cooling system (as far as restrictions go)...

I was worried about this same issue so I bolted the 2004R to a 318 short block I have in my garage with the TCI flexplate, adapter ring and torque converter installed as per instructions. It was the only way I could guarantee that the Torque Converter spacing was correct and with the starter...

...site PATC and then it all made sense. But let's hope I'm wrong. The company that made the parts you paid for should be absolutely sure of the 2004R dimensions. By absolutely sure I mean that they should have one (2004R) there in their shop. If your set up is longer than mine you need...

It looks like there's plenty of room to attach the tranny cross member to your frame connectors. If you'll remember from my previous posts the 2004R tranny mount is only 4 1/2" inches further back than the stock cross member mount. From your pics it looks like there a solid section at least...

...clearance and less weight!! LOL I trimmed off the TCI adapter a little more for the passenger's side exhaust then I trimmed some off the 2004R bell housing now I should have plenty of clearance for the install. I know, I know, you're saying "but you cut off the part of the tranny...

I received the super tight radius 2 1/2" pipes. I needed these because when I was installing the 2004R I noticed that exhaust place (where I had the down pipes installed) used smaller pipe than what I had asked for on the driver's side. I can't really blame them because they were barely able to...

For those who might be interested here is an example of the stock 2004R converter codes. The converter that came with my 2004R had the code sticker on it as you can see in the pics. If I'm reading the GM 4 digit code chart correctly the converter is a "C" = Early 700R4/2004R 27 spline series...

...the same when the rear is under load (centerline of pinion parallel to centerline of trans). Unless your rear end is mounted completely solid it should rise (the pinion anyway) under load, the amount it rises will vary with each different set-up. Hope this helps. LOVE MY 2004R!!!!! Treblig

imo the scat cast is a perfect choice and welcome to the useless first gear club lol .i know of at least 1 friend running a 550 hp 530tq and plus a 300 shot so 850 hp on a cast steel scat so they are a perfect street crank and are much stronger than most think .

...for two things: will I get enough low end response off the line and how will the lower gears affect the WOT shifts with my new (modified) 2004R governor??? I might be barking up the wrong tree because I just received my 15X12 polished rims (15x12" Weld Pro Star Drag Race Wheels) for the...

Well... its gonna be close!!! I have a spare 2004R and just measured it. Came out a hair over 28" maybe 28 1/16 to the end of the housing. The books all say 28 1/4" so I guess that's probably what it is (my stick might not have been perfectly square with the trans). Either way if you trim the...

The governor was set-up by the builder. Once I get the car running and break in the transmission, motor and the 8 3/4 chunk. I'm going to run one of those geared speedometer correctors that use the GPS readouts that you send them at several speeds. I found a really nice 150 mph rallye dash...

...II front end on it with power disc brakes and power rack, installed a new Chevy 350 with serpentine belt system, P/S, P/B and AC. I put a 2004R overdrive in the car and I'm in the process of installing a stereo system. She actually wanted "Christine"!!! But the '58 Plymouth Fury was so...

Are you saying that there's a reverse light switch that fits on my shifter, where can I get one??? that would save me from having to put one on the 2004R tranny. treblig

...installed on the 42rh/a500 on the above posts. I have installed the a500 in my 70 dart with out cutting the floor.You will have to cut the cross member on the upper side even if you do a 2004r. I have seen both done and i think the a500/a518 would be cheaper and easier than the 2004r.

73 Plymouth Duster, I'm doing the A-body 2004R swap right now, http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=252436 Lots of details but I'm not exactly sure on whether my '69 Cuda and the 73 Duster are exactly alike in the trans tunnel/cross member area. But I'm positive that...

And finally pics of the new 2004R transmission. It won't be long now!!!!! I should be able to install this tranny in the next few weeks. I have a friend who has a large garage at his house with a car lift that will make it easy to replace. He's out of town right now but will be back in a week or...

PiosonDart74, The reason for all the pages is that I'm doing my best to document (show other members) everything involved with putting a 2004R into an auto console '69 Barracuda. I could have put much less information here but then it wouldn't help nearly as much. Plus there were quite a few...

...for Drag Week 2014. Just being honest here. This adapter kit allows a small block mopar to be mated with a GM automatic trans (I went with a 2004r). The flexplate is currently balanced for a magnum 360, but could easily be rebalanced for an LA 360 or neutral by sending it to Wilcap. You...

...absolutely correct...no Mopar parts for hundreds of miles. When you can find them they cost a small fortune. That's why I stuck a Chevy 2004R in my Barracuda, total cost $1850. I did all the work myself except for the tranny overhaul. The 2004R core was only $25. Since Chevy rear ends...

Well I believe that I finally completed the last item related to the 2004R install/swap. After the swap I found that the chevy/TCI ring gear was larger in diameter than the Mopar ring gear. This pushed the Mopar starter out towards the driver's side causing it to contact the exhaust pipe. I had...
