The factory harness is long gone. We replaced it with a Painless set up and Accel DFI. The intake will soon be coverred in wiring when we sart to hook up all of the sensors.

This is what is under the dash (less the harness for the DFI).



I have cleaned up a factory harness before using a set of factory drawings to remove anything that wasn't used. For a race car it is much easier just to replace everything.

What pick tube works with that pan?

I lucked out and found this thread while searching for something on google. I've been researching the TH200 recently and would like to run one in my 93. One main question I was having trouble finding was about the input shaft and converter compatability. I already have a PTC 3800 converter for a TH350 that I'd like to use. Will converters designed for TH350/400s work in a TH200?

I plan on building this myself with a lot of help from some friends. Do you know of any good places to find performance parts for a TH200. I'm looking for a good valve body and things along those lines.

EDIT: Found an answer again randomly searching...

Unfortunately, GM made the slotted converter neck for the TH-200 about 1/16-inch smaller than the "Turbo" TH-350 neck. You would need to machine the pump for the larger shaft and modify the smaller pump gear, as well as a custom input shaft. - In regards to using a TH350 converter with a TH200.

Hey Beaflag talk to Rossler Transmissions. They are running a TH200 in a pro mod with much success.

I have one Rossler TH200. It was good for 15 passes! I have had no success with getting it freshened. TH200's are tricky. They are really fast, but very few people can make them last. I have had zero luck working with local shops to freshen any TH200. That said, a good TH200 is a good .010 faster than my best TH350.

Installing the headlight assemblies.



Ready for the bumper cover.



The nose going on.



I know that the last photo is a bit of a tease, but we still have some panel aligning to do before I can post finished front end photos.

Yep, or risk being thrown out. NHRA/IHRA rules are tough!
