Identifying a Transmission

I have a rebuilt trany a guy gave me, he thought it was a 350, but it doesnt look anything like one, my question is rather there is some site I could go to to get it IDed. I have been unable to find one, and was hoping there was another why to figure out besides taking it to the local shop.

Thanks

You know what I just went out and checked, and I was wrong the pan does look like the 350, but the trany doesnt. I thought it was a 350 and I was planning on putting on an adaptor to replace my 700-r4, but as far as I can tell it doesnt have the four bolts on the shaft that the adapter needs to fit, I know almost nothing about tranys, so if I am not making sense let me know and I'll try to be more specific.

kinda looks like a 200 r4 to me. but I also have a feeling of chrysler too. are there any GM stamps in the casting. does the bolt pattern match a chevy pattern, could be a BOP pattern 200r4 as well. ???

you got F***ed bro. that's a thm200c. it came in fbodies from like 82-83 (3rd gens). it also came in a couple of the bigger cars, too, which is why you don't have bolt holes. i hope you didn't pay anything for it. good luck.

that'd be a big 10-4. hawk to someone with a g-body and needs a stock 3-speed. go hunt around in the J-Y. any truck or f-body or even big-body cars pre-79 will definitely have a th350 or th400. if you still don't find a tranny, come back and ask me. i have a spare.
