i have an 82 t/a and it has a th200-i want to swap in a th350 what consists of completing this swap-will i need different parts like a driveshaft or tranny crossmember-any help would be appreciated

 

You will need a torque arm bracket, got mine from summit. The B&M braket worked great. Your crossmember and driveline will work with no modifications. You will need a new dipstick/dipstick tube, and a new kickdown cable. You will also have to modify the bracket for the shift cable thats mounts on two of the pan bolts since the spacing is differant. Plus you will need to rig up an exaust hanger on the cat, stock it hooks on the bracket for the torque arm. Hope this makes sense cause I am really tired. Good luck.

 

thanks rjm that helps alot-so if i dont use the cat i dont have to rig a hanger then?i guess ill find out when i crawl under there this weekend-appreciate the info

 

I think that evan if you don't have a cat, you would want some kind of exaust hanger there. Its a pretty long span and I think it would sag too much. I still don't know how I will fix mine the right way. Right now it is just rigged to work.

 

hehe, Rodney, don't look under my car. When I helped the cat fall off I never replaced the bracket or added a hanger and it doesn't sag at all.

BTW, it's a 24" span where the cat is just in case you are wondering.

 

thanks guys

 

Hey Mike, look under my car and you will see why I am confused about what to do. Looks like a 3" Y pipe going into the cat and a 2" pipe going back to where the Flowmaster stuff starts. It looks like it goes back to 2.5" or 3" there. Think I will wait for headers and a new Y pipe and then try to run a bigger pipe to the back. But if he don't need a hanger there than that is good news. The way I got mine rigged right now it rubs on speed bumps. Not good.
