hello fellow car guys, just picked up a 200-4r and will be swapping out my power glide. I was curious if i can use my existing transmission mount and column shifter from the powerglide on the new ******. thanks fellas! Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
No, the mounting surface distance on the 200-r4. Move the mount back to fit. Modify the column to work with the shift arm.
Changed a from powerglide to 700-4R in a 64 Chevelle, the rear mount cross-member will slide back on the frame rail, had to shorten the drive shaft 4" for the 700-4R. I think doing the 200-4R is a better deal, the drive shaft will work. with out modifying it note: had to bump out tunnel clearance for the servo. ( Big .050 Hammer) A company called Shift Works makes a new gl*** for the column shift P-R-0-3-2-1
i’ve removed the gl*** so that if anyone tries to jack the car, they don’t know what gear they are in [emoji6] but i will forsure have to look into that new gl*** until i get used to it. thank you! Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
I swapped in a 200r4 in my ‘64 El Camino awhile back. Drive shaft is the same, trans cross member will move back about 6”. I used 1/4” flat bar steel to extend the mount pad on the inside and bolted/welded them to the frame. Make sure the TV cable has the correct amount of tension or you can burn up the clutches in the trans. Do a search on how to set it properly. Too tight is better than too loose.
