can i upgrade to a 350THM easily withou any computer issues or should i just have the stock one rebuilt?

 

[littlerascle59]

Don't know but I think or recommend a well built 200 4r. You'll have a 4 speed and it shouldn't do nothing to your computer.

 

[soldierboy]

is the 200r4 stock to all LS MONTE

 

[RO Sleepy]

id get a 400

 

[soldierboy]

ive been doin a lil resaersh and i tseems alot of ppl like the 2004r when propely built alot of info on turbobuick

 

[Foompla]

the only people who like the 200r 4? are the gn people.


everyone else swaps out to a 700r4.


if my car was stock id just replace the stock unit.

 

[RO Sleepy]

200r4's do not handle horsepower well

thats why they are mostly on turbo motors and cadillacs


(like 3 mechanics told me that)



and 700's just fit chevy motors, am i right?

 

[soldierboy]

kool

WILL A 200R4 BOLT UP TO A 231 V-6 ON A REGAL PRETTY QUICK? FOR EXAMPLE - BOLT PATTERNS AND LENGTH.

yes and yes


and the crossmember on a turbo350 and a 200 metric and 200r4 are the same



I KNOW FOR A FACT CUZ I BOUGHT A CROSSMEMBER WHEN I CHANGED MY 200R4 TO A 350 AND IT WAS THE SAME ONE


:tears: 40 BUCKS GONE AND I DIDNT GET MY MONEY BACK

200c and 200r4 crossmembers are different, it is the only that has to change when doing the swap though. I read somewhere 2004r and 400 trans cross are the same but I just welded mine when I swapped.

200-4r fits both Buick/Olds and Chevrolet.
700-r4 fits only Chevrolet.

The only electrical connection on the tranny will be for a lockup torque converter so it wont effect anything. If your gonna put a trans in a Monte Carlo, the only one I would use is the 700-r4.

 

[RO Sleepy]

U NEED THE PLUG FOR IT TO LOCK UP

ITLL PROLONG THE TRANNY LIFE

not true, a 2004R (not R4) are used in 1000+hp applications. Read the new issue of Car Craft theres an article in there. I believe the length off the 2004R is the same length as a short TH350 so it should fit, but there is a TCC solenoid for the torque converter on the 200 that is not on the 350 and without it you may throw a check engine light and the car may not even run right. Anyway I'd rather have the overdrive than a 3 speed 350 but thats your call, bottom line is replace whats in a computer controlled car with the same thing and youll be happier

ITS ALWAYS BEST TO PUT IN WHAT U GOT OUT. BUT IF YOU DO DECIDE TO UPGRADE IT WILL FIT RIGHT UP. YOU DONT EVEN NEED THE PLUG.

 

[El Duez]

There is no way I would use a 350 or a 400 or a 200 metric on anything these days. With the 700-r4 and the 2004-r being so easy to get and the same price it doesn't make sense to use a three speed.

I DONT THINK HOMEBOY WILL BE UPGRADING THE DRUM, SERVOS, VALVE BODY AN ALL THAT SHIT TO HANDLE 1000 HP LIKE U SAY

 

[83Cizzoupe]

Agreed, but you did say that transmission could not handle horsepower well didn't you?
