What will I need to swap out or change besides the torque converter? Driveshaft need to be shortened? I am running a spohn torque arm for a 700r4, will I need to buy a new one? Just looking to see what is involved when swapping these transmissions. Thanks.

700r4 I have now didn't even last 3 weeks it was mildly built. I thought about rebuilding it stronger but everyone I talk to says that a 200r4 would be better with my setup and would last a lot longer. Check link in sig to see what my current setup is.
I assume you have 200 out of a GN? If not you will need to get one. The GN 200 is a unique beast. Definitely not you're average bear. I think the two are the same length, should be able to use the tail housing from your 700 to get the tourque arm mounted. If you don't run a GN 200 it won't last as long as the 700 did.
They are not the same length and the tail housing does not bolt on.
They can be built to be like a TTA trans or GN.
You will need a different crossmember, torque arm and driveshaft.
Not sure how you will run the speedo, yours is electronic.
the big block olds guys run them behind their really strong modified engines all the time no problem
good luck

I have LOTS of good used '82 83 84 and some '85-90 parts.. try me.. PM or email me!
700R can last plenty long. If you blew yours up, either it did not have strong enough parts in it, or it wasn't built properly. It was one or the other.

Guess we will find out. Going to try the 700r4 again but built a lot stronger and by a different company.
The last HD sun shell I bought was about 80 bucks, and that was 3 years ago. You can also modify a TH350 piece to work. I don't have that book anymore, so I don't have instructions for you.
I like the gearing in the 2004R better, so that's my choice. The GN guys like 'em, and the TTA survived with one, so...

It's just my opinion.
I want to go with one too. But it will cost me a lot of money since I have to modify the driveshaft, buy a crossmember to get the torque arm to work, and TC + the rebuild. Rather just have the rebuild cost.
If I were you I would go for a TH350 instead of the POS TH200,Which has crappy stamped steel internals.
That's what I had in my 82 T/A and it only had 70K miles when I did the swap/rebuild.Best $500 I ever spent
