Why not have the 4l60 built correctly instead of going through all that trouble for a much more rare trans?

I don't even bother asking why anymore. People want to do weird/dumb **** go ahead.

This isn't really even a useful post...no questions have been asked. no info on the setup.
Just useless ramblings.

I'll gladly help if the post starts to contain useful info

Why? he says factory manifolds.
I agree, sell it. If you need to refer to the internet you shouldn't be doing the swap, especially "just because"

I can tell you knowing transmissions and 4th gens but never having done the swap. Heres what you do.

Remove the 4L60E
Get a stock stall speed converter.
Bolt up the 200-4R.
Have fun with the dipstick tube.
Get a swap crossmember for a 200-4R with a torque arm mount or
Get a chassis mounted torque arm mount.
Measure for a driveshaft and have one made.
Rig up a TV cable bracket and bell crank with the proper geometry (or just get one off a '93 LT1 that had a 700R4)
Adjust the tv cable properly or else the $$$$$$$$ 200-4R will get fried and need a $$$$$$ rebuild.
Take it for a drive and wonder why the f**k did I do this.

​​​​​​​It is that easy. Take out the old one and try to install the new one. Modify or buy parts that don't work with the swap.

so you have a stock engine that makes no power
no reason to do the swap (haven't heard you say the 60 is trashed)
no clue how to do the swap...which means you probably shouldn't try it
no benefit to swapping...gear rations are hardly any different...you add complexity by needing a tv cable and needing some way to tune the car to forget it has a 60e
this seems like an entirely useless post and idea

if you seriously think you'll notice anything with the gear ratios, i think that's crazy

gear 2004r 700r4
1 2.74 3.06
2 1.57 1.62
3 1 1
4 0.67 0.70


If that really is enough difference to you, then we live on different planets

Well I’m not a proponent for this swap because I think it’s dumb. But they put turbo 400’s in stuff all the time so it can be done. The reason for him putting it in the car is kind of silly in my opinion. Because he has one that’s already built. Well I have a old school sbc sitting on an engine stand and it’s 600hp but that don’t mean I’m gonna stick it in my ls1 car. That’s bass ackwards just like this trans swap.

But hey, post #8 is the answer to this thread. So I’m out. Holla. Smh.

I have a 200-4r rmvb with a brake in my car. 8" fti converter .
for mount I went to the BMR t56 trans crossmember with tq.arm mount. Drive shaft is 3" longer if I recall,PST did my driveshaft.
I went from a t56 to 200 because I wanted to control my shifts myself. And better gearing

ALSO: Find the parts to adapt the speedometer.
