The 5 spd finally bit the dust after many many low 12 sec runs. I am wanting to put a 200 4 R in it, but am not sure how I would go about hooking up the torque arm and a crossmember. Anyone done this...Thanks in advance for your help.

 

Get a torque arm kit from Spohn made for 200R4.

 

you can do that(which i recommend) or find a TTA x-member that allows you to use the stock tq arm, also you'll have to get a TTA or custom driveshaft

 

Or a driveshaft setup from a 3rd gen car with the th350 or th400. They are all the same length.....

 

hmmm didn't know the short tail 350 was the same length, i knew about hte 400 being the same as the 200, but not the 350, interesting

 

400 is the oddball splien and length, 200r4, 350 short, 200, and 3 speed and 4 speed(side loaded in cars only- were not used in trucks) manuals are all same length and spline in pass cars,.
T-5 i dunno, think are oddball, or same as 700r4

400 and 350 were not put in third gen F body cars factory
