    What do you think of my build? 318/390

    ...the parts except the crank, cam and pistons. I wanted to run pump gas so 9.2:1 comp ratio (69cc heads). I've also already installed a modified 2004R transmission w/1800 stall, running 3:08s but have a new set of 4:10s ready to install. I was shooting for 350-375 HP and looking for high torque...

    Will GM 200r4 work with factory floor shift location?

    ...a plug in the front shaft (I believe) and many other upgrades. That transmission worked great. Not sure if I should do the same with this 2004R. Thanks for you input/suggestions. I really don't know how much the nonlock-up will effect my cruising RPM. If I remember correctly isn't it...

    Will GM 200r4 work with factory floor shift location?

    Thanks for the Kudos and to be fair I was inspired by "Mopar To Ya" if it hadn't been for him blazing the (TCI) trail on the 2004R swap I probably would not have attempted it. There is very little I can't do but I would have hated to rip out my perfectly good 904 only to find that the 2004R...

    One wire lock-up, 4 spd automatic w overdrive into A-body.

    They are double flared......In fact I used 5/16" brake line for tranny lines on my 2004R swap. Treblig

    Will GM 200r4 work with factory floor shift location?

    ...asked them what different length cables they had for Chevys and they gave me a long list. I selected the 83" cable because when I install the 2004R I'll need a longer cable to reach the tranny connection (behind the trans cross member). It only cost $12 and they had it in stock!!! For anyone...

    Will GM 200r4 work with factory floor shift location?

    ...the tranny cross member and the trans tunnel for reinforcement, Will show pics tomorrow. Then I'll trim the trans cross member to clear the 2004R tranny housing and maybe install the lower rod end (if there's room). I'll install the TCI crank spacer/adapter and then put the new flex plate...

    Kickdown cable recommendations?

    I ran a Lokar setup with my 904 and then again when I got my 2004r. I was just looking for the "easy" option, but to be honest I wasn't overly impressed with either for the price. I'm not fond at all with the plastic piece they use to attach the cable to the carb linkage. So cheap for a $70...

    Will GM 200r4 work with factory floor shift location?

    ...the tail of the tranny up a 1/4", now it's sitting nice. NO way the dip stick tube is going to fit unless I bend it a lot so I just ordered a 2004R flexible dip stick tube. Bought 8 quarts of synthetic trans fluid and finished bending and fitting the lines to the tranny. Double checked the...

    Anyone running a th400 in their a body?

    ...Those transmissions were never meant to be heavy duty. The gear spread is good and they perform well, but moving into that power level there are better options. Here's a link to a member who did a 200-4R install. http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=174333&highlight=2004r

    Will GM 200r4 work with factory floor shift location?

    ...I'll drill a small hole in the tunnel to pass the three wires through then I can reinstall the console and drive my car until I install the 2004R. This should resolve all the problems with the NSS and reverse light. PS - I'm seriously thinking about putting a by pass switch on the NSS...

    Anyone running a th400 in their a body?

    http://www.rosslertrans.com/TH210%20Packages.htm I'll have to call Al and ask him for sure.... but I think his 99 Hemi equipped Barracuda had this trans..... or the 400. The one listed above is pretty light. Was just curious if it was like the 727/904 deal where the lighter 904 was...

    ...cooler. PS - If you happen to notice that some of the pieces are a too long or wide, I did this on purpose so that when I install the 2004R I have plenty of metal to get the tranny centered (left to right) and on the correct horizontal plane. Once I get the tranny exactly where it needs to...

    Will GM 200r4 work with factory floor shift location?

    ...had a hard time getting anything to stick to it so we had to sand (lightly grind) off the outer layer. All the time I've had this old (1987) 2004r I wondered why the tranny pan didn't have any rust on it considering it wasn't painted, now I know why. You can see the angle that I held the...

    ...hole in tunnel above the tranny, install a small grommet and run the wires under the floor to the tranny switch wires. When I install the 2004R I can simply splice the original tranny switch wires to the wires leading to the console. Once I get the reverse switch I might even hook...

    NEUTRAL SAFETY - Does anyone know

    ...for $45 plus shipping. Unless some one says something different I'll order it and see if I can make it work. I'm getting close to putting the 2004R into my cuda and I need to get all these problems resolved so that everything goes smooth when I make the swap. My plan was to spice onto the two...

    Will GM 200r4 work with factory floor shift location?

    ...Now I can connect a couple of wires and make them long enough to make a connection with the wires that go to the tranny switch so that I won't have to remove the console when I put the 2004R into the car. It will also ensure that I can't start the car in gear when I test the tranny. treblig

    Will GM 200r4 work with factory floor shift location?

    After thinking about the 2004R swap I didn't want to use the GM trans cooler lines then downsize to the mopar fittings, The mopar fittings are 1/8" pipe in the transmission and in the radiator. To make things worse the mopar fittings have a much smaller opening than the GM fittings/line. Here...

    Will GM 200r4 work with factory floor shift location?

    ...tells me that the two outer wires on the tranny switch connect when the trans is in reverse completing the circuit to the back-up lights. I plan to buy the lokar switch and mount that goes with the 2004r so when I hit reverse the lights will work. Has anyone tried this before???? Treblig

    One wire lock-up, 4 spd automatic w overdrive into A-body.

    ...that's just me though....everyone likes to do things there own way and I'm no exception!!! I absolutely love driving my Barracuda with the 2004R especially with the modified governor and the 3.73 gears. No droning sounds on the highway and pretty nice off the line. Today I order my...

    ...to a bracket. I'll shows pics after the install, it's pretty simple. Next I tackle the trans inspection cover. Since I loped off one the 2004R tranny ears I'll have to drill and tap one new threaded hole into the tranny housing. Since GM uses the starter on the passenger's side I...

    ...the adapter in the area that the exhaust pipe is located. See PICS. Then I took the adapter and placed it on the tranny and found that the 2004R tranny has a large bulge just below and behind the area where the square boss projects from the engine. So to be safe I plan on trimming a good...

    Will GM 200r4 work with factory floor shift location?

    Here's the parts list and some of the pricing. I was shooting for around $650 for the 2004R overhaul. Ended up spending close to $900. But that's not too bad considering they bought the shift kit with all the valve body and servo springs and other items to make all the modifications I wanted...

    One wire lock-up, 4 spd automatic w overdrive into A-body.

    I went out with a buddy for a celebration dinner tonight and didn't get anything done. I want to drop the torque converter in the transmission tomorrow and see how it came out. We're aiming for 1/8" from fully seated in the transmission to bolted to the flexplate. That will put me right in the...

    Finally got the cuda off the car lift. Pre-fitted all my homemade 2004r tranny/cross member brackets and found no problems. Tested the speedo cable extension and rerouted the cable. Put a some undercoating on the underside. I also found one interesting fact...if you install a rod end in the...

    Will GM 200r4 work with factory floor shift location?

    ...to build a 390 stroker with around 375/400 HP. But the more I think about it I'm wondering how the car will launch with the lower 1st gear (2004R) and 4:10s in the rear. The 318 in my Cuda run real good. I already have a new posi in the rear end. If it launches like I want I may not have...

    200R4 update

    I'm using the Wilcap kit with my 5.9 magnum / 2004r combo. Very very nice kit. I had to provide a stock flex plate for the balance, but they should have that info on file now. The kit is 100% bolt-on. The only modifcation needed is to grind/file the tip of the starter to clear the bell...

    Valve Tip/Rocker Height Question??

    ...well but still doesn't have the torque and power I'm looking for (3.08 gears). Maybe I'm asking too much. I'm in the process of installing a 2004R transmission into my Cuda (and switching to 4.10 gears) so that should help on the low end. It's just that now that I done all this reading at...

    One wire lock-up, 4 spd automatic w overdrive into A-body.

    ...be sure and put a wrench on the fitting that has the solder so you don't twist off the solder joint while you're tightening the trans line. I think I may have mentioned that in my 2004R posts. As far as sealer goes, I always use liquid Teflon on threads for trans line and radiator...
